platanaceae การใช้

• Together with the Platanaceae and Nelumbonaceae, they make up the order Proteales.
• Of interest are the current family distributions, with the Proteaceae a mostly Southern Hemisphere family, while the Platanaceae and Nelumbonaceae are Northern Hemisphere plants.
• The APG III system of 2009 followed this same approach, but favored the narrower circumscription of the three families, firmly recognizing three families in Proteales : Nelumbonaceae, Platanaceae, and Proteaceae.
• However, the genus has an anatomical feature, laterocytic stomata ( having 3 or more parallel specialised subsidiary cells ), which it shares with the Platanaceae ( next closest relatives to the Proteaceae ) and no other Proteaceae, which indicate it diverged from all other members of the family first.
