Thirty one genera and 59 species are treated, including five introduced genera (Allamanda, Beaumontia, Catharanthus, Nerium, and Vinca). The most species--rich genus is Mandevilla with six taxa, followed by Echites, Prestonia, Stemmadenia, and Tabernaemontana(4 species), and Cascabela (3 species). No endemic species are reported.
