TaxonomyI the
Apg3 classification of the
Caryophyllales there are many single families:
Rhabdodendraceae,
Simmondsiaceae,
Asteropeiaceae,
Physenaceae,
Stegnospermataceae,
Limeaceae and
Molluginaceae.
Molluginaceae has 17 genera. All others families have only 1 genus.
Plant theoryIn the first version of the
Plant theory the above families were combined in
Physenales, a conglomerate of families not fitting in a clear clade. It is obvious that this was lacking many possibilities. It was insufficient. It hardly gave good prescriptions, the more so as they are not available in homeopathy.
In the update of the
Plant theory the above families are fused in an extended
Physenaceae and placed in
Subphase 7.
Nyctaginaceae, formerly in
Aizoales, is added to
Physenales and is split in
Bougainvilleoideae and Boerhavoideae and placed in respectively in
Subphase 5 and 6.
Phytolaccaceae, formerly in
Aizoales, is added to
Physenales and is split in
Petiveriaceae and
Phytolaccaceae and placed in respectively in
Subphase 3 and 4.
Molluginaceae is a family that has been problematic in botanical classifications. It is hardly known in homeopathy. It is placed in
Subphase 3.
In subphase 1 is placed a combination of
Limeaceae, Stegnospermatacaeae,
Gisekiaceae,
Barbeuiaceae,
Lophiocarpaceae.
