These can be placed in 3 groups (each of which has been given the rank of order in some classifications), plus the three individual families Muntingiaceae, Neuradaceae, and Sphaerosepalaceae.
Sarcolaenaceae consists of 35 species, in 10 genera, of trees and shrubs, and is confined to Madagascar.
Dipterocarpaceae may be paraphyletic with respect to Cistaceae and Sarcolaenaceae.
As part of an assessment of the vascular plantfamilies endemic to Madagascar and the Comoro Islands, a synoptic revision is presented of three genera of Sarcolaenaceae: Eremolaena Baill.
Molecular sequence data place Sarcolaenaceae as the sister group of Dipterocarpaceae within an expanded Malvales.
Des analyses moléculaires montrent que les Sarcolaenaceae sont le groupe frère des Dipterocarpaceae, au sein des Malvales élargies.
The Malvales is the sister group to the Sapindales (mostly tropical, but also including maples and horse chestnuts), and thence to the Brassicales (crucifers and allies).
In the Uppsala System the Elaeocarpaceae are transferred to the Oxalidales, in the Eurosid I subgroup of the Rosids, and the Lecythidaceae to the Ericales, in the Asterids.
In the Dahlgren System the Malvales consists of the families Bixaceae, Bombacaceae, Cistaceae, Cochlospermaceae, Dipterocarpaceae, Huaceae, Malvaceae, Plagiopteraceae, Sterculiaceae, Sphaerosepalaceae, Sarcolaenaceae and Tiliaceae.
The largest intact areas of this habitat are found in the Isalo and Itremo massifs on sandstone and quartzite.
They are characterized by a relatively open canopy dominated by members of the familySarcolaenaceae and Euphorbiaceae, including the fire-resistant Uapaca bojeri and the genus Sarcolaena.
The shrub layer consists of Asteraceae, Rubiaceae, and Leguminosae.
PY is due to an impermeable seed or fruit coat, it is the second most common class of seed dormancy on earth.
PY occurs in some members of 15 plantfamilies, including the Anacardiaceae, Bixaceae, Cannaceae, Cistaceae, Cochlospermaceae, Convolvulaceae, Curcurbitaceae, Dipterocarpaceae, Fabaceae, Geraniaceae, Malvaceae (now includes the Bombacaceae, Sterculiaceae, and Tiliaceae), Nelumbonaceae, Rhamnaceae, Sapindaceae, and Sarcolaenaceae.
Impermeable seeds (or fruits) in each of these families have a distinct "water plug" that must be dislodged or moved before imbibition can occur.
Revision of Leptolaena (Sarcolaenaceae)(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
As part of an assessment of the vascular plantfamilies endemic to Madagascar and the Comoro Islands, a synoptic revision is presented of Leptolaena Thouars sensu stricto (Sarcolaenaceae).
Une révision synoptique du genre Leptolaena Thouars sensu stricto (Sarcolaenaceae).
Dans le cadre de l'évaluation des familles de plantes vasculaires de Madagascar et des Comores, la révision synoptique du genre Leptolaena Thouars sensu stricto (Sarcolaenaceae) est présentée.
Molecular sequence data place the family sister to Dipterocarpaceae in a broadly defined Malvales.
Fossil pollen tetrads of Sarcolaenaceae from the Miocene of South Africa most closely resemble those of Xyloolaena, indicating that Sarcolaenaceae were once more widely distributed.
Xyloolaena appears most closely related to Rhodolaena, Sarcolaena and Leptolaena sensu lato, with which it shares several features; Xyloolaena can be distinguished by its involucre that forms a cup at anthesis instead of completely enclosing the flowers, and its numerous multiseriate ovules.
