Taxonomy edit
APG IV edit
The APG IV system, of 2016, recognizes this family and places it in order Austrobaileyales, an order which is accepted as being among the most basal lineages in the clade angiosperms.[2]
APG III edit
The APG III system, of 2009, also recognizes such a family and places it in order Austrobaileyales, an order which is accepted as being among the most basal lineages in the clade angiosperms.[3]
APG II edit
The APG II system, of 2003, also recognizes such a family and places it in order Austrobaileyales, an order which is accepted as being among the most basal lineages in the clade angiosperms.
APG edit
The APG system, of 1998, also recognized this family, but left it unplaced as to order, and regarded it as being among the most basal lineages in the clade angiosperms.
