Rosales
Rosales is an order of flowering plants, including the rose family, Rosaceae. The following families are typical of modern systems:
- Rosaceae (rose family)
- Elaeagnaceae
- Rhamnaceae[?] (buckthorn[?] family)
- Ulmaceae[?] (elm family)
- Celtidaceae[?]
- Moraceae (mulberry family)
- Urticaceae (nettle[?] family)
- Cecriopiaceae[?]
- Cannabaceae (hemp family)
- Barbeyaceae[?]
- Dirachmaceae[?]
Aside from the Rosaceae themselves, this is a complete change in composition from the Rosales from the older Cronquist[?] taxonomy:
- Brunelliaceae[?]
- Connaraceae[?]
- Eucryphiaceae[?]
- Cunoniaceae[?]
- Davidsoniaceae[?]
- Dialypetalanthaceae[?]
- Pittosporaceae[?]
- Byblidaceae[?]
- Hydrangeaceae
- Columelliaceae[?]
- Grossulariaceae[?]
- Greyiaceae[?]
- Bruniaceae[?]
- Anisophylleaceae[?]
- Alseuosmiaceae[?]
- Crassulaceae[?]
- Cephalotaceae[?]
- Saxifragaceae[?]
- Rosaceae
- Neuradaceae[?]
- Crossosomataceae[?]
- Chrysobalanaceae[?]
- Surianaceae[?]
- Rhabdodendraceae[?]
These forms have been removed to various other orders, most notable the Saxifragales, while the former Urticales have been transferred here.
