 Ranunculales
Circaeasteraceae have been placed in the Ranunculaceae-Anemoneae, as by Kosuge et al.
Circaeasteraceae do not show the regular relationship between the stamens and perianth members of many other members of this clade.
Keeping Kingdoniaceae separate from Circaeasteraceae is optional in APG II (2003).

 PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Magnoliidae -- Spring 1999
Takhtajan's similar views, published in obscurity in 1942 (as a mimeographed statement), were largely unknown beyond the confines of the newly imposed "Iron Curtain" so that even his 1954 book, published in Russian, was not widely consulted until an English translation appeared (as Origins of the angiospermous plants) in 1958.
Today, the core families associated directly or indirectly with the Ranunculales are Lardizabalaceae, Menispermaceae, Berberidaceae, Hydrastidaceae, Ranunculaceae, Circaeasteraceae, Pteridophyllaceae and Papaveraceae, to use the sequence adopted recently by Thorne (1997).
Glaucidaceae and Hydrastidaceae are included but Circaeasteraceae are excluded - a curious alignment given the relationship between Glaucidaceae and Circaeasteraceae especially in light of the fact that Kingdoniaceae is submerged with Circaeasteraceae.

 Hotspots Revisited
More than a quarter of the world's Rhododendron, Primula, Corydalis, Anaphalis, Delphinium, Gentiana, Saussurea, and Sorbus species occur in the Hengduan Mountains of western Sichuan, while over half the species of Ligularia, Cremanthodium, Cotoneaster, and Pedicularis have been recorded in this hotspot.
Of particular interest is the occurrence of two endemic families, Circaeasteraceae (two genera, Circaeaster and Kingdonia) and the monotypic Acanthochlamydaceae (Wu 1988; Xiong 1989; Xu 1991; Wang et al.
In terms of vertebrate diversity, some 237 mammal species occur in this hotspot, of which only five are endemic.
