Plant theorySalviniales is the only member of the Subclass
Salviniidae and class
Lycopodianae. It has only one member
Salviniaceae, placed in
Phase 1. This is the common situation in the
Hydrogen series.
In the
Plant theory Salviniales is split in
Azollaceae,
Salviniaceae and
Marsileaceae. They are all having their own order and subclass, which are placed respectively in the classes
Equisetanae,
Lycopodianae and
Polypodianae.
Aquatic plants have been difficult to classify, due to their reduced forms and thus lack of differentiating qualities and due to their reduced DNA. In the case of the aquatic ferns, a family was erected to include all Hydropteridaceae, which means water ferns. From the point of view of the
Plant theory aquatic plants have a connection to the
Hydrogen series, where only 1 possibility is available. Splitting the Salvianiales fits the structure better and the homeopathic picture fits better.
TaxonomyIn the PPG1 classification
Salviniales included the families
Salviniaceae,, with as members Salvinia, Azolla and
Marsileaceae.
Formerly, Salvinia was included in the Hydropteridales (Rothwell and Stockey, 1994) or
Salviniales (A. Smith, 2006). Azolla was formerly also placed in its own family
Azollaceae, leaving Salvinia as the only member of
Salviniaceae.
