What a horrible experience for your friends! That can happen within a very
edible plant family as well. For instance, water hemlock. Most families have
at least one deadly relative in the bunch. There are very few rules that
apply in every situation on "safe to eat." The best rule I know of is to know
the exact plant you are eating. Yes, DNA sequencing is changing a lot of
things. I spoke to one DNA specialist who says she would no longer consider
breeding plants for desirable qualities, and is grafting heirloom tomatoes
onto GMO rootstock.

I suppose these recent changes have to do with DNA sequencing
For me plant relationships are more than a little bit important. Some
families are generally very safe to eat or use in medicine while others are
naughty and have some very toxic family members. A few years ago I nearly
lost a whole family of friend because they did not remember this. "Ah, that
is probably what the French eat with Xmas.." Two hours later the whole
family was in a coma in hospital and it took the husband who had eaten most
of it more than 4 months to recover.

That seems to happen a lot. One might conclude that our understanding of
relationships and characteristics is still quite incomplete, or perhaps the
entire idea of trying to categorize plants in families is limited.
Obviously, there are some plant family patterns that are quite useful to
know and understand, but others appear to be more ambiguous and less useful.
Permaculture categories have quite a lot of use and relevance, and may
perhaps become part of the botany lexicon at some point.

Thanks Lawrence. I see some are re-housed in different families from what I
was used to.
