'''''Mayaca''''' is a [genus](/source/genus) of [flowering plant](/source/flowering_plant)s, often placed in its own [family](/source/Family_(taxonomy)), the '''Mayacaceae''' (or '''Mayaceae''' in earlier systems).][Sutton, D. A. & R. Khan. 1994. 258. Mayacaceae. 6: 173–174. In G. Davidse, M. Sousa Sánchez & A.O. Chater (eds.) Fl. Mesoamer.. Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México, D. F.][[http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=10543 Flora of North America, vol 22, Mayacaceae Kunth ]] In the [APG II system](/source/APG_II_system) of 2003, it is assigned to the order [Poales](/source/Poales) in the clade [commelinids](/source/commelinids). The [Cronquist system](/source/Cronquist_system), of 1981, also recognised such a family and placed it in the order [Commelinales](/source/Commelinales) in the subclass [Commelinidae](/source/Commelinidae).
The group is widely distributed in [Latin America](/source/Latin_America) from [Mexico](/source/Mexico) to [Argentina](/source/Argentina), as well as in the [West Indies](/source/West_Indies), the southeastern [United States](/source/United_States), and central [Africa](/source/Africa).[[http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=254237 Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families]][[http://bonap.net/MapGallery/County/Mayaca%20fluviatilis.png Biota of North America Program, 2013 county distribution map for ''Mayaca fluviatilis'']][Lourteig, A. 1952.
