“…The data also indicated that one grouping (Apioideae) was more similar to the Saniculoideae than to the Hydrocotyloideae (Pickering & Fairbrothers, 1970). These groupings essentially correspond to the three subfamilies.…”

“…Some precipitin reactions are used as an index for determining degree of serological correspondence, which is a summation of the immunological reactions throughout the antigen reaction range. Research has demonstrated that extracts of seeds, pollen, leaves, tubers, and spores of vascular plants can be used, if the required extraction procedures are followed (Fairbrothers, 1969(Fairbrothers, , 1971). Such portions of the single antigenic molecule as are "reprinted" by the specific portion of the antibody molecule are designated "determinant groups," "determinant sites," or "determinants" (Fairbrothers, 1968(Fairbrothers, , 1969(Fairbrothers, , 1970.…”

The two families of the order Apiales (Apiaceae and Araliaceae) represent a classic example of the difficulty in understanding evolutionary relationships between tropical‐temperate family pairs. In Apiales, this problem is further compounded by phylogenetic confusion at almost every taxonomic level, including ordinal, interfamilial, and infrafamilial, due largely to difficulties in understanding trends in morphological evolution. Phylogenetic analyses of rbcL sequences were employed to resolve relationships at the ordinal and familial levels. The results of the ordinal analysis confirm the placement of Apiales in an expanded subclass Asteridae as the sister group to Pittosporaceae, and refute the traditional alliance of Apiales with Cornales and Rosidae. This study has also resolved relationships of a number of enigmatic genera, suggesting, for example, that Melanophylla, Aralidium, Griselinia, and Toricellia are close relatives of Apiales. Clarification of phylogenetic relationships has concomitantly provided insights into trends of morphological evolution, and suggests that the ancestral apialean taxon was probably bicarpellate, simple‐leaved, woody, and paleotropical. Phylogenetic analysis at the family level suggests that apiaceous subfamily Hydrocotyloideae, often envisioned as an intermediate group between Apiaceae and Araliaceae, is polyphyletic, with some hydrocotyloids closely allied with Araliaceae rather than Apiaceae. With the exception of some hydrocotyloids, Apiaceae appear to be monophyletic. The relationship between Apiaceae and Araliaceae remains problematic. Although the shortest rbcL trees suggest that Apiaceae are derived from within a paraphyletic Araliaceae, this result is only weakly supported.
