According to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG II), the heterogeneous family Zygophyllaceae is unplaced to order, but included in the Eurosids I as a sister to a clade composed of several orders. The name Zygophyllales can be used if one finds it appropriate to place the family Zygophyllaceae into an order. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group is an international group of systematic botanists who have come together to try to establish a consensus view of the taxonomy of flowering plants in the light of the rapid rise of molecular systematics. ... In the APG II system for the classification of the angiosperms the name rosids refers to a clade, meaning a monophyletic group of plants. ... A clade is a term belonging to the discipline of cladistics. ...

Zygophyllaceae are sister to Krameriaceae in Soltis et al.
Balanites is even more different from other Zygophyllaceae in vegetative features, having thorns, spiral leaves, etc. (Sheahan and Cutler 1993; see also Parameswaran and Conrad 1982), and also in seed anatomy (Boesewinkel 1994), but it is to be included in Tribuloideae (Sheahan and Chase 1996, 2000).
Relationships between several clades of Zygophyllaceae are unclear; for relationships between Larrea and relatives, see Lia et al.
