Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group 2016Su et al. (2012) showed that Borthwickia W.W.Sm., Forchhammeria Liebm., Stixis Lour. and Tirania Pierre are collectively paraphyletic to Resedaceae and described Borthwickiaceae, whereas a separate Stixidaceae (as ‘Stixaceae’) had been previously proposed by Doweld & Reveal (2008). Here we include Borthwickiaceae and Stixidaceae in an expanded Resedaceae, members of which share some morphological characters (e.g. flowers with many stamens), although some share more characters with Gyrostemonaceae than with core Resedaceae. This prevents unneccesary inflation of family names. Cleome L. has been shown to be grossly paraphyletic to the other previously recognized genera of Cleomaceae (Feodorova et al., 2010; Patchell, Roalson & Hall, 2014), leaving perhaps only a single genus in that family.
