  Laurales
However, relationships between Monimiaceae, Lauraceae and Hernandiaceae are difficult to work out, this being one of the few cases where there seems to be persistent disagreement between morphology and molecules (Renner and Chanderbali 2000).
Monimiaceae + Hernandiaceae + Lauraceae: (plants Al accumulators); (cork outer cortical); A whorled, microsporogenesis successive, columellae foot layer and endexine 0, ovule apical, (micropyle bistomal).
Hernandiaceae + Lauraceae: primary stem ± with vascular cylinder; vessel elements with simple perforations; mucilage cells +; sieve tube plastids also with starch; leaves spiral (lobed); flower parts whorled, (filaments slender), tapetum amoeboid, exine thin, intine very thick, G 1, ovule pachychalazal, outer integument 4

Hernandiaceae comprise four genera and 50 species, some only known from their types.
Seven species occur in Africa, four in Madagascar, 22 in the neotropics, 21 in Indochina, Malesia, and throughout the Pacific, and three in Australia; one species is pantropical.
(Hernandiaceae have no confirmed fossils but their closest relatives, Monimiaceae and Lauraceae, were widespread by the Upper Cretaceous.) For Hernandia, with c.

Molecular phylogenetic studies have found that Hernandiaceae, Lauraceae, and Monimiaceae sensu stricto form a monophyletic group, here referred to as the HLM clade.
Exploration of the data indicates that varying substitution rates across lineages or sites, insufficient taxon sampling, fast evolving outgroups, or biased base composition are unlikely to explain the difficult reconstruction.
Exclusion of the longest-branched taxa, such as the hemiparasite Cassytha, which is nested in Lauraceae, certain Hernandiaceae, and outgroups, had no effect on family relationships.

Fruit dry, indehiscent, winged or enclosed by the enlarged, fleshy bracts.
The Hernandiaceae are a small, primitive family, found in the tropics of all continents.
In Australia, two genera are found in lowland rainforests in Queensland, from the vicinity of Brisbane to Cape York, while a third is found in monsoonal savannahs from the Kimberley region of Western Australia to south-eastern Queensland.

Pollinator changes away from nectar-foraging bees in Monimiaceae and Siparunaceae argue for the first scenario.
(4) Anther dehiscence by two valves is ancestral in the ATH-SIP clade and evolved independently in Hernandiaceae and within Lauraceae.
(5) A chromosome number of n = 11 or 12 appears ancestral in Laurales, with double that number characterizing the ATH-SIP clade and polyploid series the Hernandiaceae and Monimiaceae.
