The
Caryophyllaceae were not well divided in
Subphases in the first version of the
Plant theory. The lack of information and remedies made that too speculative. Recent information and rpovings of new remedies has made the division possible.
The placement of
Caryophyllaceae in
Phase 4 has been quite well established. The care for their family is a keynote for the
Caryophyllaceae and they do not question that.
SubfamiliesCaryophyllaceae is traditionally divided in three subfamilies:
- Alsinoideae: no stipules, petals not united.
Silenoideae or Caryophyllideae: no stipules, petals united.
- tribe
Caryophylleae.
- tribe
SileneaeParonychioideae: fleshy stipules, petals separate or united.
- tribe Paronycheae
- tribe
PolycarpeaeSubphasesThe tribe
Caryophylleae with Dianthus, Gypsophyla and Saponaria have the most stable form in their family situation. Their vision of the family is sure, indicating
Subphase 4.
Sileneae, the other tribe in Silenoideae, shows aspects of
Subphase 6.
Cases show absent parents and parents neglecting their children.
The next tribe becoming clear was Paronycheae in
Subphase 7.
Cases of Herniaria and Paroncyhia showed suicide of the father, a beating father, a mother with insanity and suicidal tendency or being an unwanted child.
Paronychioideae are a basal grade of rather primitive members
Caryophyllaceae, not closely related with many plesiomorphic traits. This indicates
Subphases 1 and 7, at the start or end. They are not central. This is another confirmation for
Paronychieae in
Subphase 7.
Polycarpea eis the other tribe Paronychioideae, even more plesiomorphic with Corrigiola as a first line in it. This can indicate
Subphase 1. This si confirmed with a case of Spergularia and the marine quality fs some Spergularia plants.
The subfamily Alsinoideae is not easily divided in tribes. The biggest Genus is Arenaria, but that has to be split in some different Genera according to Fior.
Proving of Cerastium and Eregenome have indications for
Subphase 3. Stellaria cases also have a
Subphase 3 qualities. Another case of Stellaria shows has foster children, a theme of
Subphase 3. The clade in Fior containing those genera, Group B, is taken as
Subphase 3. I have given it the name
Stellarieae.
Scleranthus is known for his timidity and
Calcium like aspects,
Subphase 2. A proving of Minuartia confirmed this. This clade, In Fior without a name, is given the name
Sclerantheae, the name of a subtribe.
The last clade, Group C in Fior, is then left for
Subphase 5. There is though a lack of information to confirm this.
