Diagnosis

|---|---|---|
| The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group 2016 | In Dioscoreales, we maintain the circumscription of the families provided in APG III (2009), but we admit that several studies (Merckx et al., 2009; Merckx, Huysmans & Smets, 2010; Merckx & Smets, 2014) have indicated that Thismia Griff. and its relatives and Burmannia L. and related genera do not form a clade. Those authors recommended that Thismiaceae, Burmanniaceae and Taccaceae be reinstated to reflect their estimates of relationships for these taxa. Caddick et al. (2002), upon which the APG III circumscriptions were based, had earlier found good support for the relationships as recognized in APG (2003, 2009), and Hertweck et al. (2015) reaffirmed this relationship in their analysis. We hope that future studies will resolve the incongruence reported in the literature for this order, and we will make any necessary changes to familial circumscription at that time. |
