Classification System: APG IV Superregnum: Eukaryota Regnum: Plantae Cladus: Angiosperms Cladus: Eudicots Cladus: Core eudicots Cladus: Rosids Cladus: Eurosids I Ordo: Zygophyllales

Familia: Zygophyllaceae
Subfamilia: Zygophylloideae
Genera: Augea – Fagonia – Melocarpum – Miltianthus – Roepera – Tetraena – Zygophyllum

Name

Zygophylloideae Arn., Encycl. Brit. (ed. 7) 5: 104 (1832) (“Zygophylleae”).

Type genus: Zygophyllum L., Sp. Pl. 1: 385 (1753).

Note: Christenhusz et al. (2018) embed Augea, Fagonia and Tetraena into Zygophyllum s.l. making the required new combinations, they cite Beier, Chase & Thulin (2003) and Sheahan & Chase (2000) as justification. This has yet to be universally adopted and so they remain segregated, as WS has to adopt a conservative approach. See also discussion page.
