Cabombaceae is the botanical name of a family of flowering plants. Such a family has been recognised by at least some taxonomists.
The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998), does not recognise such a family, at least as such: the plants in question are included in family Nymphaeaceae. However, APG II does allow this as an optional segregate. In that case the family is unplaced as to order but is accepted among the most basic lineages in the clade angiosperms. Some scientists using the APG II system are now placing this family in the order Nymphaeales.
The family consists of two genera (Brasenia and Cabomba), totalling half-a-dozen species, of aquatic plants.
