Phylogeny
The rattany family, containing only the genus Krameria,
has been classified in its own family (Krameriaceae) or placed within
Zygophyllaceae. The flowers of Krameria
resemble members of Polygalaceae and Fabaceae, two families that are
apparently related as shown by morphological and molecular analyses. The
APG2 classification considered Krameriaceae as an acceptable, monophyletic
alternative to Zygophyllaceae and that concept has remained through APG4 of
2016. Wang et al. (2009) analyzed 2 nuclear and 10 plastid genes
for 117 taxa in the rosid clade and outgroups and the chloroplast inverted
repeat (IR) for 59 taxa. Krameriaceae came out with 100% ML BS as sister to
Zygophyllaceae.
