Phylogeny

The most recent phylogenetic studies that demonstrated the composition of and position within the order for Schoepfiaceae are Malécot and Nickrent (2008), Vidal-Russell and Nickrent (2008), and Der and Nickrent (2008). Clicking on those citations will take you to pdf files of the articles.

An older study that dealt with the molecular phylogeny of Santalales (including Olacaceae) was presented at the 2001 meetings in Nantes, France. It can be seen by clicking HERE.
