TaxonomyAvicennia has been placed in different families,
Lamiaceae,
Scrophulariaceae and lately
Acanthaceae. It has affinities with
Oleaceae. All these families are members of the order of
Lamiales. It has also been placed in its own family
Avicenniaceae, with Avicennia as its sole genus. In the last case it is like the
Hydrogen series, having only 2 stages. Or having only 1 stage and the pause. Then we can say that Avicennia is just
Stage 1, just being. In this case just being alone.
The stage is here problematic, 1 or 10.
