53 Parnassiaceae

Notes: Parnassia has traditionally been assigned to Saxifragaceae. According to phylogenetic evidence, Parnassia is relatively distant from that family (see Stevens 2001 onwards and references therein) and Parnassiaceae is rather a sister to Celastraceae in Celastrales (Zhang and Simmons 2006).
