Apiales
3-666.70.00Botany: Asteranae; petals free.TaxonomyApiales is an Order in the Subclass Campanulidae in the Apg3 classification with Apiaceae, Araliaceae and several very small families.
In the Plant theory Araliales is split off from Apiales. Apiales thus has only one family Apiaceae. Apiaceae is split in 7 Subfamilies. The first two Subfamilies are Hydrocotyloidae and Saniculoidae, recognised in older taxonomies. The third Subfamily, Apioidae, had many tribes. Downie’s research showed that the older division in tribes was incorrect.
In the Plant theory the new clades have been grouped tentatively in 5 Subfamilies Bupleuroidae, Apioidae, Daucoidae, Myrrhoidae and Oenanthoidae.
Apiales is placed in Phase 7 of Campanulidae.
From the point of view of the Plant theory it would be more elegant to raise Apiaceae to the level of Order and the Subfamilies to the level of Families.Subphases1. Hydrocotyloidae: already rejected before ever being accepted.
2. Saniculoidae: doubting their control.
3. Bupleuroidae: pleasing even when rejected.
4. Apioidae: perfect control although an outsider.
5. Daucoidae: competitive to show rejection was unjustified.
6. Myrrhoidae: resigned and philosophical about being an outsider.
7. Oenanthoidae: Cicuta, Oenanthe: rejected to the utmost, torture.
