Recall that in a laminar family, any two sets are either disjoint or contained one in the other. Here, a parametrized weakening of this condition is introduced. Let us say that a set system F⊆2X$\mathcal {F} \subseteq 2^{X}$ is t-laminar if A,B∈F$A,B \in \mathcal {F}$ with |A∩B|≥t$|A \cap B| \ge t$ implies A⊆B$A \subseteq B$ or B⊆A$B \subseteq A$. We obtain very close asymptotic bounds in terms of n on the maximum size of a 2-laminar family F⊆2[n]$\mathcal {F} \subseteq 2^{[n]}$. A construction for 3-laminar families and a crude analysis for general t are also given.
