Dodonaeoideae

Dodonaeoideae is a subfamily of flowering plants in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae.

The subfamily includes 24 genera in two tribes, Dodonaeae and Doratoxyleae.

A single fossil genus, †Alatacarpus <small>Greller et Goudket</small>, is known from the Late Cretaceous (Santonian)-aged Magothy Formation from Long Island, New York. The specimen consists of a fossil fruit similar to that of Dodonaea.
