Families

Huerteales is the

Gerrardinaceae, Tapisciaceae, and Dipentodontaceae.[5]

Petenaeaceae consists of a single genus and species Petenaea cordata from Southern Mexico, Guatemala and Belize.[6]

Gerrardinaceae consists of a single genus, Gerrardina.[7] Tapisciaceae has two genera, Tapiscia and Huertea.[8][9]

Until 2006, Dipentodontaceae was treated as consisting of a single genus, Dipentodon.[10] Since that time, some authors have included Perrottetia in Dipentodontaceae, even though no formal revision of the family has been published as of 2008.[11] Thus the order Huerteales consists of six genera. The largest genus, Perrottetia, contains about 15 of the approximate total of 25 species in the order.[12]

Description

All of the Huerteales are

ovary is unilocular, at least at the top, with one or two ovules per carpel
. The number of carpels is variable.

Other characters are generally found in Huerteales, but with the exceptions noted below. Gerrardina differs from the rest of Huerteales in that the stamens are opposite the

sepals. Dipentodon and Perrottetia are distinctive in that the calyx and corolla are not well differentiated, but resemble each other. Tapiscia and Huertea have a calyx tube and compound, rather than simple leaves. Tapiscia has a uniloculate ovary with a single ovule.[9] Huertea has one locule containing two ovules, or two locules, each containing one ovule.[8] Gerrardina, Dipentodon, and Perrottetia have two ovules in each locule. Tapiscia lacks the nectary
disk that is characteristic of the order. Huertea lacks stipules.

History

Until the first decade of the twenty-first century, the five genera of Huerteales had usually been placed into three unrelated families. Tapiscia and Huertea had long been known to be related. Most authors had placed them in

phylogenetic analysis. Since that time, Staphyleaceae has been recircumscribed. It no longer includes Tapiscia and Huertea [14] and it is in the order Crossosomatales.[15]

For most of the twentieth century, Gerrardina and Dipentodon had usually been placed in Flacourtiaceae, a family that is now recognized by only a few taxonomists, and then only as a segregate of Salicaceae.[16][17] Perrottetia, meanwhile, had usually been placed, with considerable doubt, in Celastraceae.[18]

Ever since Dipentodon was named in 1911, there had been occasional suggestions that it might be related to Tapiscia and Huertea.

sister to Dipentodon in Huerteales.[18] Also in 2006, it was found that Gerrardina is a malvid, but its placement within this group remained uncertain.[7]

In 2009, Andreas Worberg and co-authors produced the first phylogenetic study that included all of the genera of Huerteales. From one of their data matrices, they derived a well supported phylogeny for the order, as well as strongly supported relationships among the four orders of malvids.[5]
