New Families by Traditional Family

There have been changes in plant families during the past few years. Since Wild at Heart is organized by those families, I am posting this chart so that you can tell which families have  species now moved to a different family. Plants were originally organized according to morphology. With new available genetic information, it has become clear that many plants once considered members of a particular family are actually descendants of a different group of plants. The following chart is sorted A-Z by traditional family on the right. This enables you to determine which genera in which family have been moved to another family. Please email me at janis.huggins@comcast.net if you have a question.
