  Abelia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abelia is a genus of about 15-30 species and many hybrids in the honeysuckle family Caprifoliaceae, in the part of that family split off by some authors in the segregate family Linnaeaceae.
The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group considers Linnaeaceae to encompass such genera as Linnaea, Abelia, Dipelta, Kolkwitzia, and Zabelia.
Abelias are shrubs from 1-6 m tall, native to eastern Asia (Japan west to the Himalaya) and southern North America (Mexico); the species from warm climates are evergreen, and colder climate species deciduous.

 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.

This study of sequence variation reveals that the vast genus Psychotria "is paraphyletic with respect to all the other genera of the tribe." From the cladogram, we would have said it was polyphyletic.
Diervillaceae and Linnaeaceae, two new families of caprifolioids.
The further breakup of Caprifoliaceae (already shorn of Sambucus and Viburnum) is proposed, mainly (it seems) to obviate the inclusion therein of Dipsacaceae, Morinaceae, and Valerianaceae.
