Plant theory 2The order
Rubiales is half retained as in the first version of the the
Plant theory.
Cinchonoideae and
Ixoroideae have swapped their position.
Oleacaeae stayed in
Subphase 6, confirmed many times.
Rubioideae has been further split in
Rubioideae,
Spermacocoideae, and
Psychotrioideae, respectively placed in
Subphase 1,
Subphase 2, and
Subphase 3.
The monogeneric family Aviceniiaceae has been placed in
Stage 1 of the
Oleaceae, as it is very strongly related to
Oleaceae.
Coptosapelteae is included in the shortened
Rubioideae in
Subphase 1. This is provisory, as there is no homeopathic information of them.
Convolvulaceae is shifted from
Solanaceae Subphase 6, to
Rubiales Subphase 7.
Plant theory 1Rubiaceae is split off from the Order
Gentianales and put in its own Order
Rubiales.
Rubiaceae is quite different form
Gentianales. They are much more sure, fitting
Phase 4, instead of the
Phase 2 quality of
Gentianales. The splitting does not affect the monophyly of both Orders.
Rubiaceae is split in 3 subfamilies:
Rubioideae,
Cinchonoideae,
Ixoroideae, and the small subfamily Coptosapelteae.
Rubiaceae is quite big with about 600 genera and 6000 species. In contrast only 3 species are well known in homeopathy: China, Coffea and Ipecacuanha.
Coptosapelteae is an unclear Subfamily in Apg3 is placed in
Subphase 3.
Oleaceae is placed in
Rubiales as its theme is very similar to
Phase 4.
Oleaceae has been associated with
Gentianales and
Rubiales more often in the past by botanist like Bessey, Meechior and Reveal.
TaxonomyThe
Rubiaceae is the first branch in the
Gentianales in the
Apg3 classification. In the past it was often put in its own order
Rubiales.
