Default Cisanthe

A quick look shows that it does not exist

Occam's typorazor suggests you look at
Cistanthe grandiflora (Portulaceae, with characters as described by you)

Can anyone tell me where Cisanthe grandiflora sits, taxonomically
speaking. I've found mention of it in various horticultural contexts,
but no indication to which branch of the angiosperms it belongs.

From observation, it's a eudicot, with 5, free, petals, 5, free, sepals,
and a superior ovary. Presumably not an asterid, so either a rosid or a
basal eudicot.
