Proteales

The Proteales are an order of flowering plants, which belong among the basal eudicots. Newer classification schemes include three families:

Family Proteaceae (protea[?] family)
Family Platanaceae (sycamore family)
Family Nelumbonaceae[?] (lotus family)

In the older Cronquist system the Proteales have a different composition, comprising the Proteaceae and Elaeagnaceae.
