cornaceae latin

Its position in Cornales is uncertain; it may be basal to the rest of the order, or fall within the family Hydrangeaceae.

Under the Cronquist system, the Garryaceae were placed among the Cornales.

Cornaceae (the dogwood family) is a cosmopolitan family of flowering plants in the order Cornales.

These difficulties in interpreting the systematics of Cornales may represent an early and rapid diversification of the groups within the order.

Under the APG system, Cornales includes the following families:

However, embryological, floral, and other morphological characters do not support this placement, and molecular data suggest that Hydrostachys is related to taxa in the order Cornales.

Hydrangeaceae are a family of flowering plants in the order Cornales, with a wide distribution in Asia and North America, and locally in southeastern Europe.

This genus seems to have relatively little in common with any other, and no affinity to the Podostemaceae except being aquatic; moved to its own family in the Cornales.

No phylogenetic study has focused on the lamiids, but phylogenies have been inferred for the asterids, a group composed of Cornales, Ericales, the lamiids, and the campanulids.

Members of Cornales are highly geographically disjunct and morphologically diverse, which has led to considerable confusion regarding the proper circumscription of the groups within the order and the relationships between them.

Recent phylogenetic studies have suggested that several families, including three major orders not included in Asteridae by Cronquist, Ericales, Cornales, and Apiales, also belong to the asterid group.

Molecular data suggest that there are four clades within the Cornales: Cornus-Alangium, nyssoids-mastixioids, Hydrangeaceae-Loasaceae, and Grubbia-Curtisia, with Hydrostachyaceae in an uncertain position, possibly basal.

Flowering Plants, Dicotyledons: Celastrales, Oxalidales, Rosales, Cornales, Ericales (The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants, Volume VI).

The order is not recognized by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group; the family Hydrostachyaceae is placed in the order Cornales and the plants making up the other two families are included in the family Plantaginaceae.

Apiales, Cornales, Proteales and Santalales, and parts of Rafflesiales (sensu Cronquist) are excluded from the second, and many groups from Cronquist's Hamamelidae and Dillenidae are included.

Mastixia arborea is a species of plant in the Cornaceae family.

Aucuba is included in the family Cornaceae in some classification systems.

They are thus similar to many Cornaceae.

Diplopanax is a genus of flowering trees usually placed in the family Cornaceae.

It is a member of the dogwood genus Cornus and the family Cornaceae.

The Pittosporaceae were placed within the Rosales, and many of the other forms within the family Cornaceae.

Taxonomic placement of this genus has proven difficult because it possesses characters in common with both the Araliaceae and Cornaceae.

The genus Nyssa, Cornaceae, is often misspelt Nyassa.

Cornus foemina is a species of flowering plant in the Cornaceae known by the common names stiff dogwood and swamp dogwood.

The genus is included either in a broad view of the dogwood family Cornaceae, or as the sole member of its own family Alangiaceae.

Differences from the other genera in Cornaceae include articulated pedicels, subulate bracts, bitegmic seeds and the single-seeded fruit.

In northern temperate areas, Cornaceae is well known from two genera: Cornus, the dogwoods, and Nyssa, the tupelos.

They are usually included in the tupelo family Nyssaceae, but sometimes included (with the tupelos) in the dogwood family Cornaceae.

Alangiaceae is a small family of small dicotyledon trees, shrubs or lianas, closely related to the Cornaceae (Dogwood family).

The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group currently (2009) includes the genera of Nyssaceae within Cornaceae, but this classification remains unstable.

It is usually included in the subfamily Nyssoideae of the dogwood family, Cornaceae, but is placed by some authorities in the family Nyssaceae.

The systematics of Cornaceae have been remarkably unsettled and controversial, and many genera have been added to it and removed from it over time.

Nyssa sinensis (Chinese tupelo) is a species of flowering plant in the family Cornaceae (or Nyssaceae), native to Central China.

Although generally placed in Cornaceae, it has also been associated with the family Nyssaceae, when that family is removed from Cornaceae.

Cornus alba (red-barked or Siberian dogwood) is a species of flowering plant in the family Cornaceae, native to Siberia, northern China and Korea.

Aucuba is a genus of three to ten species of flowering plants, now placed in the family Garryaceae, although formerly classified in the Aucubaceae or Cornaceae.

The AGP II states that Alangiaceae is a synonym of Cornaceae (the Dogwood family), but still recognizes it as a nom.

Main host plants are Rosaceae and Betulaceae, others are Salicaceae, Aceraceae, Caprifoliaceae, Fagaceae, Cornaceae and Juglandaceae.

Under the Cronquist system the order comprised the families Cornaceae, Nyssaceae, Garryaceae, and Alangiaceae, and was placed among the Rosidae, but this interpretation is no longer followed.
