| The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group 2016 | In Alismatales, we recognize here Maundiaceae because the single genus, Maundia F.Muell., has a non-exclusive relationship with Juncaginaceae (Von Mering & Kadereit, 2010; Les & Tippery, 2013), in which it was previously placed (APG III, 2009). Erection of another monogeneric family in this order in which the alismatid families (not including Araceae) are already numerous and small might seem unwarranted, but the online survey (Christenhusz et al., 2015) found little support for the alternative, namely expansion of Juncaginaceae to include Potamogetonaceae, Zosteraceae, Cymodoceacee, Ruppiaceae, Posidoniaceae and Maundiaceae. The simplest solution to the problem posed by Maundia is the addition of another family to Alismatales |
