Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group 2016Sarcolaenaceae might also need to be included in Dipterocarpaceae; they share many morphological, anatomical and chemical characters and in Ducousso et al. (2004) are sister to Dipterocarpoideae to the exclusion of Monotoideae of Dipterocarpaceae. We refrain from making further changes in this group of families until a more comprehensive study (in terms of data and taxa) has been concluded. Perhaps it would be better to combine all of these into a single family, given that the limits of neither Cistaceae nor Dipterocarpaceae would be consistent with past circumscriptions. The continued use of Dipterocarpaceae (currently used for the economically most significant group) could be achieved by superconservation of the name Dipterocarpaceae, as Cistaceae currently has nomenclatural priority and is a conserved name.
