Preface
The present volume includes treatments of the families of the orders Sapindales and
CucurbitalesandofthefamilyMyrtaceaeasanappendagetotheMyrtales,whichwere
dealtwithinthepreviousvolume.Thecontributionsoncemorereflecttheenormous
progress plant systematics has witnessed since the publication of the first volumes
of this series now two decades ago. This can be seen in the greatly improved under-
standing of the demarcations betweenand of the relationships among and within the
families treated in this volume. The increase in our understanding of the age of the
lineages of the flowering plants in connection with the interest of contemporary
practitioners in the use of molecular clocks has led to the inclusion, in several
contributions, of hypotheses on past dispersal events, often resulting in claims of
unexpectedlong-distance-dispersalevents.
Altogether, the volume contains an enormous wealth of interesting information,
