Abstract

A cladistic analysis of the basal Hamamelidae based upon 92 characters is presented. The results support a close phylogenetic relationship between the subfamily Altingioideae (Hamamelidaceae) and Plantanaceae but suggest that present hypotheses concerning the derivation of the Hamamelidae from the Magnoliidae need revision. Analysis of the five subfamilies of Hamamelidaceae using Plantanaceae as an outgroup yields a phylogeny that corresponds to the fossil record far better than does current theory. As a result of this study and recent paloebotanical and phytochemical evidence, it is suggested that Hamamelidae are at least as primitive as Magnoliidae.
