Genera

The Anacampserotaceae are a family of plants proposed in the February 2010 issue of the journal Taxon. The family was described by Urs Eggli and Reto Nyffeler in their analysis of the polyphyly in the suborder Portulacineae (order Caryophyllales). The new family and its circumscription was based on molecular and morphological data. The three recognized genera - Anacampseros, Grahamia, and Talinopsis - were formerly placed in the Portulacaceae[1][2] and comprise a total of 36 known species.[3] This family was accepted in the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group's 2009 publication of the APG III system.[4]

Description

The Anacampserotaceae is a sister clade to the Portulacaceae within the Cactineae suborder in the Caryophyllales order.[5] Resiliency to environmental factors like drought has been supported in the Anacampserotaceae.[6] Species in the Anacampserotaceae have been found flourishing in regions such as South Africa.[7] In such environmental conditions, species in the Anacampserotaceae shows much adaptability in the family.[6] CAM and C3 photosynthetic pathways have been observed in a study conducted by Gilberto Ocampo and J. Travis Columbus in the Anacampserotaceae family.[8]

Taxon

The placement of Anacampserotaceae within Cactineae has been analytically examined via genetic sampling.[5][8] Within the Cactineae suborder there are three other families alongside Anacampserotaceae. The families included in the clade are Talinaceae, Cactaceae, and Portulacaceae.[5][8] The clade itself has been nicknamed "ACPT clade" as referred to by the studies.[5][8] Studies conducted to understand the genetic information between the four families have resulted in results supporting the clade relationship between the ACPT clade.[5][8]

Anatomy

The Anacampserotaceae family comprises species having succulent leaves.[9]
