Home > Malpighiales
The Malpighiales are a large order of flowering plants, included in the rosid group of dicotyledons.
Under the older Cronquist system, the families now included in the Malpighiales were dispersed throughout a number of different orders, not all of which belonged to the Rosidae. The most notable of these are the Polygalales, Violales, Theales, Linales , and Euphorbiales. The type family, the Malpighiaceae , was placed in Polygalales, an order still recognised by ITIS.
The following families are placed here in modern classification systems:
