The **Meliolaceae** are a [family](/source/Family_(taxonomy)) of fungi in the order [Meliolales](/source/Meliolales). Mostly [tropical](/source/Tropical) in distribution, species in this family are [biotrophic](/source/Biotrophic) on the leaves and stems of plants. Despite this, most species do not cause extensive damage to the host plant, and are not generally considered to be of economic significance.[1]
