Geraniidae

Year 2024, Issue 1, Article 1EditorialAuthor: Jan Scholten
EditorialThis issue of Qjure is about Geraniales. This order consists mainly of the family Geraniaceae. In the Plant theory it has been split up in 5 subfamilies, in Subphase 2 to 6. The smaller families in Geraniales are Vivianaceae, palced in Subphase 1 and Melianthaceae, placed in Subphase 7. They are the one out of order, the “outcasts”.
The general theme of Geraniaceae is a kind of conflict between having to be special and successful in society and on the other hand just want to feel loved by the family.
In this edition the split of Geraniaceae is Subphases is shown nicely by the cases.
