An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of...

A revised and updated classification for the families of the flowering plants is provided. Newly adopted orders includeAustrobaileyales, Canellales, Gunnerales, Crossosomatales and Celastrales. Pertinent literature published since thefirst APG classification is included, such that many additional families are now placed in the phylogenetic scheme.Among these are Hydnoraceae (Piperales), Nartheciaceae (Dioscoreales), Corsiaceae (Liliales), Triuridaceae (Pan-danales), Hanguanaceae (Commelinales), Bromeliacae, Mayacaceae and Rapateaceae (all Poales), Barbeuiaceae andGisekiaceae (both Caryophyllales), Geissolomataceae, Strasburgeriaceae and Vitaceae (unplaced to order, butincluded in the rosids), Zygophyllaceae (unplaced to order, but included in eurosids I), Bonnetiaceae, Ctenolopho-naceae, Elatinaceae, Ixonanthaceae, Lophopyxidaceae, Podostemaceae (Malpighiales), Paracryphiaceae (unplaced ineuasterid II), Sladeniaceae, Pentaphylacaceae (Ericales) and Cardiopteridaceae (Aquifoliales). Several major fami-lies are recircumscribed. Salicaceae are expanded to include a large part of Flacourtiaceae, including the type genusof that family; another portion of former Flacourtiaceae is assigned to an expanded circumscription of Achariaceae.Euphorbiaceae are restricted to the uniovulate subfamilies; Phyllanthoideae are recognized as Phyllanthaceae andOldfieldioideae as Picrodendraceae. Scrophulariaceae are recircumscribed to include Buddlejaceae and Myoporaceaeand exclude several former members; these are assigned to Calceolariaceae, Orobanchaceae and Plantaginaceae. Weexpand the use of bracketing families that could be included optionally in broader circumscriptions with otherrelated families; these include Agapanthaceae and Amaryllidaceae in Alliaceae s.l., Agavaceae, Hyacinthaceae andRuscaceae (among many other Asparagales) in Asparagaceae s.l., Dichapetalaceae in Chrysobalanaceae, Turner-aceae in Passifloraceae, Erythroxylaceae in Rhizophoraceae, and Diervillaceae, Dipsacaceae, Linnaeaceae, Mori-naceae and Valerianaceae in Caprifoliaceae s.l.
