Macarthuriaceae is a family of plants in the order Caryophyllales and consists of a single genus, Macarthuria.
Taxonomy
In 2009, Macarthuria was placed with Limeum in the Limeaceae, based on its morphology, but at that time no molecular material of Macarthuria had been examined.[6] Prior to this, Endress and Bittrich had placed it in the family Molluginaceae.[7] However, in 2011, molecular evidence was published, showing that Macarthuria is sister to all core Caryophyllales.[8][9] Thus, Macarthuria needed to be placed in a family of its own, Macarthuriaceae.[3][2]
