Topic: Dilleniidae


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  Dilleniidae
The Dilleniidae has been distinguished from the Rosidae in that species with numerous stamens have the stamens initiated in centrifugal (rather than centripetal) sequence and commonly exhibiting parietal placentation which is rare in Rosidae.
Molecular phylogenetic studies indicate that the Dilleniidae are not a natural group and should be broken up.
The remainder of the Dilleniidae belong to various and different lineages of the expanded Rosidae.

Genera Allocasuarina Casuarina Gymnostoma Casuarinaceae is a family of dicotyledonous flowering plants placed in the order Fagales, consisting of 3 or 4 genera and approximately 70 species of trees and shrubs native to the Old World tropics (Indo-Malaysia), Australia, and the Pacific islands.

 PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Dilleniidae -- Spring 1999
This emphasizes the bitegmic and tenuinucellar condition of the ovules, and associates the taxon with the Dilleniidae rather than the Rosidae, and while akin to the Theanae to some degree, the bitegmic ovules disassociates it significantly from the majority of the Ericanae where unitegmic ovules are the rule.
Finally, epigynous flowers in the Dilleniidae are rare, and this coupled with the admittedly highly specialized and diversified androecial arrangement found in the Lecythidanae are significant enough to separate the superorder from the Theanae.
(1998) remove not only the Lecythidaceae from the Dilleniidae but the whole of the Ericanae and refers them to their "asterids" group as an isolated order, the Ericales, divorced from the remainder of the asteralian taxa.

The more derived Dilleniidae tend to show fusion of floral parts.
Well known members of the subclass include tea, chocolate, cotton, pumpkins and melons, heathers, Rhododendron, primroses, violets, lime trees and the insect-catching pitcher-plants and sundews.
The order Nepenthales of the subclass Dilleniidae includes families of the best known insect-catching plants, such as the trumpet pitcher family Sarraceniaceae, the sundew family Droseraceae, and the East Indian pitcher-plant family Nepenthaceae which contains a single genus Nepenthes with 75 species ranging from the East Indies to Madagascar.

"The orders that make up the Dilleniidae evidently hang together as a natural group, but this group cannot be fully characterized morphologically.
Like the Rosidae, the Dilleniidae are more advanced than the Magnoliidae in one or another respect, but less advanced than the Asteridae." (Arthur Cronquist)
Recent evidence from phylogenetic analysis of molecular data indicates that the Dilleniidae are not a monophyletic group (as is true for just about all of Cronquist's other subclasses of flowering plants).
