Hamamelidales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hamamelidales is the botanical name of an order of flowering plants. The Cronquist system (1981) included the order in subclass Hamamelidae with the circumscription:

Molecular systematic studies have suggested that these families are not closely related to each other and the APG II system (2003) assigns them to several different orders: Hamamelidaceae and Cercidiphyllaceae to Saxifragales, Eupteleaceae to Ranunculales, Platanaceae to Proteales, and Myrothamnaceae to Gunnerales.
