'''Burmanniaceae''' is a [[Family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plants]], consisting of 99 species of [[Herbaceous plant|herbaceous]] plants in eight genera.{{sfn|Christenhusz|Byng|2016}}
+
{{inedible family}}
 
 
== Description ==
 
Often they are quite remarkable plants, more often red than green, without much leaf area and not growing very big in any way. The reason for this appearance is that the members of the family are all [[Myco-heterotrophy|myco-heterotrophic]] species. They are mainly distributed in the southern hemisphere and grow in shady and tropical environments. Many of the plants in the family are threatened species.
 
 
 
== Taxonomy ==
 
[[John Lindley]] described the family as Burmanniae, with the single genus ''Burmannia'', in 1830.{{sfn|Lindley|1830|loc=[http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/31944#page/325/mode/1up Burmanniae p. 257]}} In 1998 the [[APG I system]]{{sfn|APG I|1998}} placed Burmanniaceae as one of five families in the [[order (biology)|order]] [[Dioscoreales]], within the [[monocot]] [[clade]]. The [[APG II system]] of 2003,{{sfn|APG II|2003}} as a result of an extensive study by Caddick and colleagues (2002),{{sfn|Caddick et al|2002a}}{{sfn|Caddick et al|2002b}} using an analysis of three [[genes]], [[RuBisCO|''rbc''L]], ''atp''B and [[18S rDNA]], in addition to [[morphology (biology)|morphological]] criteria, led to a considerable rearrangement of the families within Dioscoreales. In APG II the [[circumscription (taxonomy)|circumscription]] of the family was wider and included the plants that belonged to the family [[Thismiaceae]] in APG I. The result was an order with only three families. [[APG III system|APG III]] (2009){{sfn|APG III|2009}} left this arrangement unchanged.
 
 
 
Nevertheless, some ongoing research has challenged this relationship{{sfn|Merckx et al|2006}}{{sfn|Merckx et al|2009}}{{sfn|Merckx et al|2010}}{{sfn|Merckx|Smets|2014}} claiming that the older classification better reflects the evolutionary relationships between the genera. According to these researchers the constituent clades are as follows:
 
 
 
'''Burmanniaceae''' ''sensu stricto''
 
*''[[Apteria]]''
 
*''[[Burmannia (plant)|Burmannia]]''
 
*''[[Campylosiphon]]''
 
*''[[Cymbocarpa]]''
 
*''[[Dictyostega]]''
 
*''[[Gymnosiphon]]''
 
*''[[Hexapterella]]''
 
*''[[Marthella]]''
 
*''[[Miersiella (plant)|Mierisella]]''
 
 
 
'''''Afrothismia''''' clade
 
*''[[Afrothismia]]
 
 
 
Tribe '''Thismieae'''
 
* ''[[Haplothismia]]''
 
* ''[[Oxygyne]]''
 
* ''[[Thismia]]''
 
* ''[[Tiputinia]]''
 
 
 
But because of conflicting evidence, the [[APG IV]] (2016) authors{{sfn|APG IV|2016}} felt it was still premature to propose a restructuring of the order since the most recent evidence upholds the APG configuration and the work of Caddick and colleagues.{{sfn|Hertweck et al|2015}}
 
 
 
=== Evolution ===
 
According to molecular analyses, the myco-heterotrophic type of life that these species lead evolved six (or even more) times independently in the three clades that are part of Burmanniaceae. ''[[Afrothismia]]'' and tribe Thismieae represent two of these shifts to myco-heterotrophy from autotrophy while Burmanniaceae ''sensu stricto'' are the clade where the other four took place. The family appears in the [[Late Cretaceous]] but the further diversification and shifts to the typical habit occurred later in the same period and continued after the [[Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary|K-T boundary]] in [[Paleogene]].{{sfn|Merckx et al|2010}}
