Plant theory 2
The 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 1
Rubiaceae 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.
