Phylogeny
The flowers of Krameria
resemble members of Polygalaceae and Fabaceae, two families that
are apparently related as shown by morphological and molecular
analyses.
The APG2 classification
considered Krameriaceae as an acceptable, monophyletic alternative
to Zygophyllaceae. This "family" is unresolved at the
base of the eurosid I clade.
