Default Plant Nomenclature

Well of course there are plenty of other conserved family names. But only
8 that fail to end in the standard "aceae."

Well, being conserved is pretty much the default condition for a family name
(not being conserved is the exception).

And there are 9 family names that are not based on a generic name (that is,
there are 9 exceptions), even if one of them ends in -aceae.
