The nearest bed has Sedums, the third has Amaranths which include Love Lies Bleeding and plants used as food crops in the Himalayas. Beds arranged systematically by family were laid out here in 1884; recently the arrangement has been changed in accordance with recent advances in molecular biology, in particular by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group led from Kew Gardens, see http://www.botanic-garden.ox.ac.uk/family-beds from Oxford University Botanic Garden.
