Viscaceae

The family Santalaceae s. l. includes, in the extent defined in SGA III, all taxa of the former families Anthobolaceae, Arceuthobiaceae, Canopodaceae, Eremolepidaceae, Lepidocerataceae, Exocarpaceae, Bifariaceae, Ginalloaceae, Osyridaceae, Phoradendraceae, Thesiaceae and Viscaceae. However, according to Daniel L. Nickrent et al. in Taxon, Volume 59, 2010, pp. 538-558, a new classification of the Santalales has been established; here, among others, the Thesiaceae and the Viscaceae are again considered as separate families. According to Nickrent et al. 2010, only the genera Antidaphne, Colpoon, Elaphanthera, Eubrachion, Exocarpos, Lepidoceras, Myoschilos, Nestronia, Omphacomeria, Osyris, Rhoiacarpos and Santalum belong to the family Santalaceae s. str.
