Urticales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Urticales was an order of flowering plants in many, perhaps even most, older plant taxonomy systems, with some variations in circumscription. Among these is the Cronquist system, which placed the order in the subclass Hamamelidae [sic], as comprising :
- Family Barbeyaceae
- Family Cannabaceae
- Family Cecropiaceae
- Family Moraceae
- Family Physenaceae
- Family Ulmaceae
- Family Urticaceae
In the APG II system the plants belonging to this order, often in new family circumscriptions, are placed in the order Rosales.
