Topic: Zygophyllales


  
  Wikipedia:Tree of Life/Update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If Zygophyllaceae continue to be placed as sister to a clade composed of several orders and ordinal status is appropriate, then the name Zygophyllales is available.
Several of the previously unplaced eurosid I families are now combined with Lepidobotryaceae and Celastraceae in a newly accepted order, Celastrales (Nandi et al., 1998; Savolainen et al., 2000b), although the group is not easy to characterize morphologically.

The sampling within the Leguminosae is focused on subfamily Caesalpinioideae, found to be basal in the family in other studies, and especially tribe Cercideae for which all five genera are included.
Species of closely related orders (Rosales, Cucurbitales, Fagales, Zygophyllales) were included as outgroups.
Results show that Quillaja saponaria is sister to the remainder of the order.
