TaxonomyIn the
Apg3 classification the
Haloragaceae are included in
Saxifragales.
In the
Plant theory Haloragaceae is split off from
Saxifragales and placed before them, in its own Order, Subclass and Class. Many of the
Haloragaceae are aquatics, which points to the
Hydrogen series quality.
Thus Haloragidae is the first Subclass of the Class
Malvanae, before the second Subclass
Saxifragidae. Haloragidae have one Order, Haloragales and one
Family Haloragaceae.
