Dear scared people,
Yes, and Ruscaceae is not even included in Liliales... It is in a
different order, Asparagales!
And for those that want to hear about the "latest heretic things" (most
not so latest)... Lemna and allies are aroids, Acorus is not an aroid and
the family Araceae is now placed in the order Alismatales, together with
most aquarium plants... And we have now two new aroid genera within the
Spathicarpeae: Croatiella and Incarum...
Very best wishes,
Eduardo.
