I learned this a few weeks ago. Funnily enough, I had a question on my ISA Certified Aborist exam about the family name for a red maple. "Aceraceae" being the only viable, albeit incorrect, answer, I left a comment on the question that it's no longer the correct family name.

PSA: Don’t trust those ai overviews for anything ever. They are lying liars who lie.
When it comes to taxonomy, the slowest to update their shit are usually educational institutions, ironically. Too many professors rely on outdated textbooks. And too many think the internet is the devil.
wikipedia is my source for all things taxonomy but it can be a bit outdated at times too

Learned in my college course Sapindaceae, which for some reason was really easy to remember
