  Zygophyllales
Zygophyllaceae are sister to Krameriaceae in Soltis et al.
Balanites is even more different from other Zygophyllaceae in vegetative features, having thorns, spiral leaves, etc. (Sheahan and Cutler 1993; see also Parameswaran and Conrad 1982), and also in seed anatomy (Boesewinkel 1994), but it is to be included in Tribuloideae (Sheahan and Chase 1996, 2000).
Relationships between several clades of Zygophyllaceae are unclear; for relationships between Larrea and relatives, see Lia et al.

 Zygophyllaceae Notes for Plant Taxonomy
The Zygophyllaceae is best known in Utah for Tribulus terrestris, the aptly named puncture vine, and Larrea divaricata or Creosote Bush that marks the Mohave desert region of Utah in Washington County.
The name of family means 'twinned leaf' and can serve to remind you that most of its members have evenly pinnately compound leaves.
of the Zygophyllaceae include trees, shrubs, and herbs that are often jointed at the nodes.

Recent analyses of rbcL sequence and other data (see Sheahan and Chase 1996) result in removal of the truly sapindalean Nitraria (Nitrariaceae) and Peganum and Malacocarpus (Peganaceae), but leave the affinities of Zygophyllaceae s.
The rbcL sequence data (see also Chase et al.
1993, Gadek et al 1996) link Zygophyllaceae loosely with Krameria and the Polygalales, associating them with Rosiflorae rather than Rutiflorae.

Nordihydroguairetic acid, used as an antioxidant of fats, can cause allergic contact dermatitis (Jorgenson and Hjorth 1970, Hjorth and Roed-Petersen 1976).
The Zygophyllaceae family is closely related to the Rutaceae which contains a creosote bush (Dictamnus).
Greasewood noted as a cause of contact dermatitis by Dorsey (1962) may refer to Larrea divaricata but, in California, Sarcobatus vermiculatus and Adenostoma fasciculata are also colloquially named greasewood (Ayres 1973).
