Diagnosis

---|---|---|
The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group 2016 | In Buxales, we broaden the limits of Buxaceae to include Haptanthaceae (Buxaceae already included Didymelaceae in APG III, 2009). Shipunov & Shipunova (2011) found that Haptanthus Goldberg & C.Nelson was embedded in Buxaceae, possibly sister to Buxus L., so its inclusion in that family is indicated |
