Also for completeness, a few families in GRIN recognised subsequent to APG III, mainly in Santalales following Nickrent et al., 2010, except for Stixaceae which is used for some genera unplaced in APG III:

  Amphorogynaceae
  Comandraceae
  Coulaceae
  Nanodeaceae
  Stixaceae
  Strombosiaceae  
  Ximeniaceae

Cheers - Tony
