Taxonomy
Historically it was placed alone in family Tribelaceae. This was placed in the Hydrangeales by Takhtajan, but the APG II system placed it in the Euasterids II clade (campanulids) unplaced as to order.[1] More recent work has provided evidence that Tribeles arose from within the ranks of Escalloniaceae, so the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website recommends placing it there, and treating Tribelaceae as a synonym of Escalloniaceae.[2]
gollark: Why not cut out the middleman and directly crowdsource the book?
gollark: I read 1 and 2, and don't really like them either to be honest. The writing is kind of clunky, and it does a lot of "oh look, a problem appeared! The protagonist just solves it with [weird interaction of various items, used once then forgotten about]".
gollark: They should obviously specify distance in metres to 10 significant figures.
gollark: Hypothetical ones, mind you.
gollark: I mean, I vaguely remember it meaning "faster than light particles", but I don't see how that's relevant.
