 | | The family belongs to a basal angiosperms clade concisting of Piperaceae, Saururaceae, and Lactoridaceae; the latter is either nested in or sister to Aristolochiaceae. |
 | | Based on a broad sampling of outgroup taxa (e.g., Saururaceae, Piperaceae, Austrobaileaceae, Amborellaceae) we also allows to look for close relatives of the Aristolochiaceae. |
 | | The outgroup results of this study show Piperaceae and Saururaceae forming a monophyletic group with Lactoris at its base and confirming this grade being sister to Aristolochiaceae. |
