	Introduction to the Plumbaginaceae
		The Plumbaginaceae are a small group of caryophyllid flowering plants, and are closely related to the Polygonaceae.
		Fossils of the Plumbaginaceae are not common, but pollen from both subfamilies is known from the Miocene.
		As for the name of the group -- Plumbaginaceae -- you might have noticed that it resembles the Latin word plumbum which means "lead", and hence the common name of the group is the leadworts ("lead-plants").

	Plumbaginaceae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Plumbaginaceae are a family of flowering plants that includes a number of popular garden species, which are grown world wide for their attractive flowers.
		They are found in many different climatic regions, from arctic to tropical conditions, but are particularly associated with salt steppes, marshes, and sea coasts.
		Under the Cronquist system, the Plumbaginaceae were placed in a separate order, the Plumbaginales, which included no other families.

	Choline-O-sulfate - Quaternary ammonium and tertiary sulfonium compounds - HORT640 - Metabolic Plant Physiology - ...
		Ancestral sub-families of the Plumbaginaceae are glycinebetaine-accumulators (Hanson et al, 1994).
		This compound is synthesized from choline by a salt stress-inducible choline sulfotransferase (Rivoal and Hanson, 1994).
		The adaptive significance of choline-O-sulfate in the Plumbaginaceae is thought to reside in the fact that salt glands of these species can excrete chloride but not sulfate; thus conjugation of sulfate with choline is proposed to be a mechanism of sulfate detoxification, converting a normally deleterious anion to a compatible osmolyte (Hanson et al, 1994).

		Their flowers have a 5-lobed calyx (whose tube is often ribbed) and a 5-lobed corolla, although the corolla lobes may be separate almost to their base.
		The flowers of some members of Plumbaginaceae have a paper-like texture to the calyx and/or corolla; the popular cultivated flower Statice belongs to this family.
		On Montara Mountain, Plumbaginaceae is represented by the Sea Thrift (or Sea Pink), Armeria maritima.

	Caryophyllales
		Purple-spored smuts and Uromyces rusts parasitize several families, including Plumbaginaceae, Polygonaceae and core Caryophyllales (Savile 1979b: he considered this to be a strong sign that the groups were close).
		Rhabdodendraceae are evergreen trees that may be recognised by their fringed-peltate hairs, their rather large, entire and exstipulate leaves, flowers with stamens that have short filaments and long anthers, and a single carpel with a basal style.
		They can be recognised by their leaves which have broad bases and are frequently only shortly petiolate and/or with entire margins, and their flowers which have a relatively large, persistent, and sometimes colored calyx (which can be scarious in fruit) and antepetalous stamens.

		Another even more striking result is the grouping of Droseraceae, Drosophyllaceae (the separation of Drosophyllum from Droseraceae is also supported by DNA analysis), Dioncophyllaceae, Ancistrocladaceae, Nepenthaceae, Plumbaginaceae, Polygonaceae, and Simmondsiaceae together in one clade to which the couple Tamaricaceae/Frankeniaceae is the closest sister clade (see Figure 1).
		The glands on the surface of the leaves probably serve the purpose of secreting the excess of salt taken up with the brackish water the plants grow in.
		It is interesting to see that most of the data mentioned here were known and published more than hundred years ago and only fifteen years after carnivory in plants was appreciated scientifically (Darwin, 1875).

		The Intron in Chloroplast Gene rpl16 is Missing From the Flowering Plant Families Geraniaceae, Goodeniaceae, and Plumbaginaceae
		Previous studies have shown that in the vast majority of land plants examined to date, the chloroplast gene rpl16 is interrupted by an intron (of about 1 kilobase in size in most angiosperms), but that in Limonium gmelinii (Plumbaginaceae) and Geraniaceae sensu stricto the intron has been lost.
		In order to uncover other instances of intron loss, the complete rpl16 intron and flanking DNA regions from over 210 species, representing 86 families of angiosperms, were amplified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique.
