摘      要：The treatment of Rutaceae in the Chinese flora chose to follow Engler in recognizing Rutoideae and Toddalioideae as two separate subfamilies.Morphological and chemical comparisons,however,suggested group-ing those two subfamilies in one subfamily,Rutoideae.This move has received support from molecular phyloge-netic analyses,which also showed that the Chinese taxa in Euodia should be placed in Tetradium and Melicope following Hartley.Investigations into the chemistry and molecular phylogeny of Murraya also indicated that the species in the section Bergera without yuehchukene should be removed from Murraya.These findings clearly show the value of molecular cladistics to the taxonomy of Rutaceae in China and also directions for further inves-tigations.
