	Nyctaginaceae in Flora of North America @ efloras.org
		Classification at the generic and suprageneric levels is problematic in Nyctaginaceae.
		Nyctaginaceae is believed to have been derived from Phytolaccaceae or a close common ancestor (A. Cronquist 1981), a relationship supported by J. Rodman et al.
		A broad survey of pollen morphology (J. Nowicke 1970; J. Nowicke and T. Luikart 1971) supported A. Heimerl’s (1934c) tribal and subtribal delimitation, but because of relative uniformity it was not useful in aiding with generic delimitation within the large subtribe Nyctagininae.

	pollen grain morphology Boerhaavia
		The Nyctaginaceae family is a classical example of "eurypalynous" plant-family pollen morphology.
		Nyctaginaceae genera with similar pollen include Acleisanthes (spines less prominent, stronger "rugulate" pattern), Allionia (the large pores [not pustules] are smaller), Annulocaulis (large [> 100 µm] grain with relatively smaller "large pores"), Commicarpus (short spines [verrucae]), Mirrabilis (spines less prominent [very similar to Acleisanthes]), Selinocarpus (spines less prominent [very similar to Acleisanthes]).

		The family Nyctaginaceae has presented serious taxonomic difficulty, both in the identification of major lineages, and in the delimitation of species.
		Molecular phylogenetic study of the family Nyctaginaceae has indicated that the non-arborescent genera form a clade centered in the deserts of North America.
		The genus Boerhavia is among the most taxonomically intractable in the Nyctaginaceae.
