Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group 2016In Poales, there have been conflicting estimates of relationships among Anarthriaceae, Centrolepidaceae and Restionaceae (reviewed by Briggs, Marchant & Perkins, 2014). To stabilize the taxonomy of this order, we enlarge Restionaceae to re-include Anarthriaceae and Centrolepidaceae so that, regardless of the outcomes of future studies, the family name will remain the same.
