viscaceae การใช้

Modern treatments of the Santalaceae include the family Viscaceae ( mistletoes ), previously considered distinct.
Most of the Viscaceae bear evergreen leaves that photosynthesise effectively, and photosynthesis proceeds within their green, fleshy stems as well.
Furthermore, it indicates disagreements about Santalaceae which need to include Viscaceae to be monophyletic ( as is done in APG III ).
However, the circumscription by APG is much wider than accepted by previous classifications, including the plants earlier treated in families Eremolepidaceae and Viscaceae.
Traditionally, the genus has been placed in the family Viscaceae, but recent genetic research acknowledged by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group shows this family to be correctly placed within a larger circumscription of the sandalwood family, Santalaceae.
