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.
