PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF THE SARRACENIACEAE

Abstract

Summary Other than the insectivorous nature of the three families, there is little evidence supporting an alliance between the Sarraceniaceae, Droseraceae, and Nepenthaceae. Floral morphology and embryology indicate a relationship between the Sarraceniaceae and the Theales. The Sarraceniaceae are best placed as a suborder in the Theales.
