TaxonomyRosaceae is the first diverging lineage of the
Rosales in the
Apg3 classification.
In the
Plant theory Rosaceae were formerly placed in
Subphase 1. Now
Rosaceae has been split in 3 Subfamilies.
Rosaceae is a big
Family. Splitting
Rosaceae creates 3 Subfamilies with a more proportionate amount of genera.
CommentIt is nice to see how three aspects of the
Rosaceae fall into each of the Subfamilies.
