Triuridales?

[Ken Kinman]

Dear All,
     The one thing that still bothers me most about recent monocot
phylogenies is the inclusion of Family Triuridaceae in Order Pandanales.
Triuridales has long been considered an independent order, and the question
is whether it should remain so.
      Does anyone have any opinions (pro or con) of inserting an Order
Triuridales splitting off just before Pandanales.  And if so, should
Petrosaviaceae (or even Japonoliraceae) be included in Order Triuridales?
Just considering the pros and cons of some further "tinkering" with the
phylogeny.
          --------- Cheers,   Ken
