Oxalidales
The
Oxalidales are an order of
flowering
plants, included within the rosid subgroup of dicotyledons. The following
families are typically placed here:
- Family Oxalidaceae (wood sorrel
family)
- Family Connaraceae
- Family Elaeocarpaceae
-
Family Cunoniaceae
- Family Cephalotaceae
- Family Brunelliaceae
Under the older
Cronquist
system, most of the above families were placed in the
Rosales.
The Oxalidaceae were placed in the
Geraniales,
and the Elaeocarpaceae split between the
Malvales
and Polygalales, in the latter case being treated as the Tremandraceae.
