====Genera==== {{For|a comprehensive list|List of Rubiaceae genera}} The family Rubiaceae contains about 14,100 species in 580 genera. This makes it the fourth-largest family of flowering plants by number of species and fifth-largest by number of genera. Although taxonomic adjustments are still being made, the total number of accepted genera remains stable. In total, around 1338 genus names have been published, indicating that more than half of the published names are synonyms. ''[[Psychotria]]'', with around 1630 species, is the largest genus within the family and the third-largest genus of the angiosperms, after the legume ''[[Astragalus (plant)|Astragalus]]'' and the orchid ''[[Bulbophyllum]]''. However, the delimitation of ''Psychotria'' remains problematic and its adjustment might reduce the number of species. In total, 30 genera have more than 100 species. However, 197 genera are [[monotypic]], which account for a third of all genera, but only for 1.4% of all species.<ref name ="Davis2009"/>
