| | Angiosperm Families - Caprifoliaceae Juss. |
 | | Including Diervillaceae (Raf.) Pyck., Linnaeaceae (Raf.) Backlund, Loniceraceae von Vest, Viburnideae (Viburnaceae) Dum. |
 | | Analyses of rbcL sequences by Backlund and Bremer (1997) indicate that Viburnum should be removed from Caprifoliaceae; that it is closely related to Adoxa and Sambucus; and that these three genera (i.e., the tribe Sambuceae of the Bentham and Hooker Caprifoliaceae, 1876) are related to Apiales or Cornales rather than to Dipsacales. |
 | | Backlund and Pyck (1998) propose Diervillaceae (Diervilla, Weigela and Linnaeaceae (Abelia, Dipelta, Kolkwitzia, Linnaea, Zabelia) as families separated from but closely related to Caprifoliaceae sensu stricto, without adequately revising the family descriptions. |
