The monophyly of these genera was later supported in a 2003 phylogenetic study of the family. [6] In the Wettstein system , this family was the only one placed in the order Verticillatae. Likewise, in the Engler , Cronquist , and Kubitzki systems , the Casuarinaceae were the only family placed in the order Casuarinales.
Allocasuarina zephyrea is a species of flowering plant in the family Casuarinaceae and is endemic to Tasmania. It is a dioecious shrub that has branchlets up to 190 mm (7.5 in) long, the leaves reduced to scales in whorls of seven to nine or ten, the fruiting cones 10–25 mm (0.39–0.98 in) long containing winged seeds 4.0–5.5 mm (0.16–0. ...
The genera Allocasuarina was created out of a grouping of plants formerly placed in Casuarina, because of subtle but consistent differences – Casuarina species have 6 to 20 scale-like teeth in each whorl of leaves, their samaras are grey or yellowish-brown, and the bracteoles of the fruiting cones are thin, woody and extend well beyond the ...

Allocasuarina misera is a species of flowering plant in the family Casuarinaceae and is endemic to Victoria.It is a dioecious or monoecious shrub that has more or less erect branchlets up to 100 mm (3.9 in) long, the leaves reduced to scales in whorls of five to seven, the fruiting cones 9–16 mm (0.35–0.63 in) long containing winged seeds 4–6 mm (0.16–0.24 in) long.
Allocasuarina media is a dioecious, or rarely a monoecious shrub that typically grows to a height of 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) and has smooth bark. Its branchlets are more or less erect, up to 200 mm (7.9 in) long, the leaves reduced to erect or slightly spreading, scale-like teeth about 0.5 mm (0.020 in) long, arranged in whorls of six to eight around the branchlets.
Allocasuarina acuaria is a species of flowering plant in the family Casuarinaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is a dioecious shrub that has erect branchlets, the leaves reduced to scales in whorls of four on the ends of the branchlets, the fruiting cones 15–19 mm (0.59–0.75 in) long containing winged seeds (samaras) about 6 mm (0.24 in) long.
