Botany: short internodes.
TaxonomyIn the
Apg3 classification the families
Balsaminaceae are included in a broad Order
Ericales. That Order is a combination of formerly separate Orders like Theales,
Ericales,
Primulales, Ebenales and other families.
In the
Plant theory Ericales is upgraded to the level of Subclass and the old Orders are recognised as Orders in
Ericidae.
Balsaminales is an Order in
Ericidae and is placed in
Phase 1. The placement in
Subphases is tentative, as most members are unknown in homeopathy.
