Note: RTF clade as a subfamily formed by synonymising some Rutoideae Arn., Bot. 104. (1832) Toddalioideae K.Koch (1869) with Flindersia. Due to priority under ICBN Amyridoideae Link, (1831) has precedence over Toddalioideae K.Koch, (1869) (Groppo et al. 2012). However, Appelhans et al., (2021) found that the majority of this clade did not cluster with Amyris and its close relatives, which were retained in Amyridoideae Link, (1831) leaving the remainder to be circumscribed in a resurrected and much expanded Zanthoxyloideae A.Juss. ex Arn. (1831).
