Plant Diversity and Evolution

In this paper,some systematical problems,including the classification,differentiation,and systematic relationships between genera of Tamaricaceae,are discussed.Tamaricaceae,together with the family Frankenaceae as sister group,is positioned in the Caryophyllales or Caryophyllidae of the Angiospermae.Based on morphological and molecular evidences,we give support to include Hololachna within the genus Reaumuria,and the establishment of the genus Myrtama Ovcz. Kinz.Tamaricaceae is composed of two tribes:Trib.Reaumurieae Niedenzu and Trib.Tamariceae Niedenzu (including Tamarix,Myrtama and Myricaria),with the genus Tamarix as evolutionary intermediate.
