TaxonomyCornales are geographically disjunct and morphologically diverse, which has led to considerable confusion taxonomically.
In the
Apg3 classification Cornales is placed in the Asteridae, before the
Lamiidae and
Ericales.
In some researches
Cornales have been placed after
Ericales.
In the Cronquist system
Cornales included
Cornaceae,
Nyssaceae,
Garryaceae and
Alangiaceae and was placed among the Rosidae.
Garryales is a small Order of 2 Families and 3 genera in the
Lamiidae.
Plant theoryIn the
Plant theory Cornales is placed in the
Lamiidae, in
Phase 1. The plants of
Cornaceae and
Hydrangeaceae have qualities of
Silver series and
Lanthanides, traits of the
Lamiidae. As a result it is fused with Garryales, an Order unknown in homeopathy.
Phase 1, the first ramification of a clade often has traits deviating from the main clade, an aspect as if the trait has not fully been incorporated yet.
The division in
Subphases is problematic due to lack of information about many plants and even Families. The placement of
Cornaceae in
Subphase 6,
Loasaceae in
Subphase 3 and Hydostachyaceae in
Subphase 1 has evidence. The placement of
Nyssaceae,
Garryaceae and
Icacinaceae is tentative.
In the new version of the plant theory
Loasaceae has been transferred from
Subphase 3 to
Subphase 7, which is confirmed by cases. The replacement of
Garryaceae,
Metteniusaceae and
Icacinaceae needs further confirmation
