The taxonomic classification of Lacistemataceae

---

As time has past and with development of new tools and methodologies relationships between plants and their taxonomic ranks have been redefined - from morphological taxonomy (1700s) through numeric taxonomy (1960s) and chemotaxonomy (1970s) to computational taxonomy (1990s) and genetic taxonomy (2000s). Thus ranks have been renamed and families reassigned to different orders.
