Y. et al. 1998). DNA sequence data from intensive taxon sampling support narrower circumscription, with Cornus as the sole member of the family and sister to the Asian Alangiaceae de Candolle (Xiang et al. 2011); that treatment is followed here. Aucuba, sometimes included in Cornaceae, is here placed in Garryaceae.</p> |tables= |references= }}<!-- --><!-- -->{{#Taxon: name=Cornaceae |author=Zack E. Murrell;Derick B.
