Other systems include the genus '' Ficalhoa'' and possibly the genus ''Pentaphylax'' in a family with ''Sladenia''. Morphological studies of the ''Sladenia'' embryo suggest it has unique characteristics that merit placing the genus in its own family. However, the plant family is poorly studied and initial phylogenetic studies have raised contradictory indications about its taxonomic 280px, Generalized scheme ...
