1. Nelumbonaceae

   Nelumbonaceae is a family of aquatic flowering plants. Nelumbo is the sole extant genus, containing Nelumbo lutea, native to North America, and Nelumbo nucifera, widespread in Asia. At least four other genera, Nelumbites, Exnelumbites, Paleonelumbo, and Nelumbago, are known from fossils. Nelumbonaceae were once included in the waterlily family, Nymphaeaceae. Genetic analysis determined that the similarities between the families are an example of convergent evolution. Nelumbonaceae are highly modified eudicots belonging to the order Proteales, their closest living relatives being the plane trees (Platanaceae) and Proteaceae.The APG IV system of 2016 places the family in the order Proteales, in the clade eudicots. The Cronquist system, of 1981, also recognized this family, but placed it in order Nymphaeales in subclass Magnoliidae in class Magnoliopsida (=dicotyledons), based on gross morphological similarities. The Dahlgren system and Thorne system (1992) also recognized this family and placed it in its own order, Nelumbonales, in superorder Magnolianae in subclass Magnoliidae (=dicotyledons).

1. Nelumbonaceae

   Nelumbonaceae is the botanical name for a family of flowering plants. Such a family has been recognized by only a few taxonomists: the plants involved have often been included in family Nymphaeaceae. It is sometimes called the "lotus family" or "lotus-lily family". The APG II system, of 2003, does recognize this family and places it in the order Proteales, in the clade eudicots. The family consist of only a single genus, Nelumbo, of probably two species, of aquatic plants, found in North America and Asia. The Cronquist system, of 1981, also recognized this family but placed it in order Nymphaeales in subclass Magnoliidae in class Magnoliopsida [=dicotyledons]. The Dahlgren system and Thorne system also recognized this family and placed it in its own order Nelumbonales in superorder Magnolianae in subclass Magnoliidae [=dicotyledons].
