Phylogeny
The rattany family, containing only the genus Krameria, has been classified in
its own family (Krameriaceae) or placed within Zygophyllaceae.
The APG2 classification considered Krameriaceae as an acceptable,
monophyletic alternative to Zygophyllaceae. Wang et al. (2009)
analyzed 2 nuclear and 10 plastid genes for 117 taxa in the rosid
clade and outgroups and the chloroplast inverted repeat (IR) for 59
taxa. Krameriaceae came out with 100% ML BS as sister to
Zygophyllaceae. The flowers of Krameria
resemble members of Polygalaceae and Fabaceae, two families that are
apparently related as shown by morphological and molecular analyses.
