Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group 2016 | In an analysis based only on rbcL (Ducousso et al., 2004), Pakaraimaea Maguire & P.S.Ashton (placed in its own subfamily of Dipterocarpaceae) is sister (88% bootstrap support) to Cistaceae, and Monotes A.DC. and Pseudomonotes Maguire & P.S.Ashton (subfamily Monotoideae of Dipterocarpaceae) are weakly supported (62%) as sister to Sarcolaena Thouars plus Leptolaena Thouars (Sarcolaenaceae; 97%) and Dipterocarpoideae (84%). Here, we propose to include Pakaraimaea in an expanded Cistaceae. |
