	Portulacaceae—reconciling DNA with taxonomy, or vice versa
		Simplified cladogram of the “portulacaceous cohort” derived from analyses of nucleotide sequences of the chloroplast ndhF gene and nuclear ribosomal RNA (rDNA) gene.
		Members of Portulacaceae are succulent annual or perennial herbs, taking their family name from the weedy potherb Portulaca (purselane) and represented in Oregon’s flora by several small or medium sized genera such as Lewisia, Montia, Claytonia, Calandrinia, and Calyptridium.
		Various western North American genera of Portulacaceae, such as Lewisia, Claytonia, Montia, Calyptridium, and the single Oregon species traditionally referred to Talinum, are phylogenetically separate from Portulaca, Talinum, and the Cactaceae.

		The phytochemistry of the Portulacaceae is interesting with the occurrence of betacyanins in their floral and vegetative parts as opposed to anthocyanins as is found in the majority of dicotyledons (Nyananyo, 1986c).

	Portulacaceae - Purslane Family
		The Portulacaceae is a relatively small family (20 genera, 500 species) that is cosmopolitan in distribution but having two centers of diversity, one in western North America and the Andes of South America, the other in southern Africa.
		Most members of the Portulacaceae are herbaceous, but there are a few shrubs in the family (but not around here).
		The leaves are simple and may be basal, alternate, or opposite.

		Detailed information on seed dormancy and germination is provided in this chapter for the genus Talinum only, but recommendations for germination test procedures and dormancy-breaking treatments for other species are summarised in Table 59.1.

		In sessile leaves the blade attaches directly to the stem.
		In clasping leaves, the blade partially or wholly surrounds the stem, giving the impression that the shoot grows through the leaf such as in Claytonia perfoliata of the purslane family (Portulacaceae).
		In some Acacia species, such as the Koa Tree (Acacia koa), the petioles are expanded or broadened and function like leaf blades; these are called phyllodes.
