Datiscaceae are slim herbaceous plants, with alternate and pennate leaves.
The pollination is usually performed by insects, but anemophily is also present (in Coriariaceae and Datiscaceae).
Under the older Cronquist system, the first four families were placed in the order Violales, within the Dilleniidae, with the Tetramelaceae subsumed within the Datiscaceae.
