 | | All recent molecular phylogenetic analyses restrict Magnoliales to a monophyletic order of six families, whose closest relatives are Laurales, Winterales, and Piperales. |
 | | We present a morphological cladistic study of all 20 genera of Myristicaceae and a broad sample of outgroups, emphasizing the contribution of palynological characters. |
 | | In either case, rooting of Myristicaceae using DNA sequences turns out to be a difficult problem, due to the very long stem branch leading to the extant family. |
