TaxonomyCaryophyllaceae is one of the main families in the
Caryophyllales in the
Apg3 classification. It is strongly related to the
Amaranthales.
In the Plant kingdom
Caryophyllaceae is placed in
Phase 4 of the
Caryophyllidae. The division in
Subphases is renewed after new provings and cases. A discussion and explanation can be found in
Qjurement.
Caryophyllaceae could also be called
Caryophyllales as it is placed at the level of an Order. But then the name
Caryophyllales would be confusing.
