FAMILY INDEX
FAMILY CODE: SCROPH FAMILY SCIENTIFIC:Scrophulariaceae FAMILY AUTHORITY: A.L. de Jussieu 1789 FAMILY COMMON: Figwort Family FAMILY SUMMARY: There is now overwhelming evidence that the Scrophulariaceae as traditionally constituted includes disparate components and requires dismantling (Olmstead & Reeves 1995; Young, Steiner, & dePamphilis 1999; Albach, Meudt, & Oxelman 2005; Schäferhoff et al. 2010, and others). Based on molecular analysis, Young, Steiner, & dePamphilis (1999) suggest that Scrophulariaceae, Antirrhinanthaceae, and Orobanchaceae be restructured to include the current members of Orobanchaceae, Scrophulariaceae, and Callitrichaceae. Beardsley & Olmstead (2002) suggest that Mimulus and Mazus be included with Phryma in a redefined Phrymaceae. Additional changes have been suggested, as summarized below and reviewed and discussed by Schäferhoff et al. (2010). FAMILY REFERENCE: Pennell (1935)=P; Schäferhoff et al.
