Linales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linales is a botanical name of an order of flowering plants. The Cronquist system used this name for an order placed in subclass Rosidae with the following circumscription (1981) :

• order Linales

  family Erythroxylaceae

  family Humiriaceae

  family Ixonanthaceae

  family Hugoniaceae

  family Linaceae

The APG II system, used here, assigns the plants involved to the order Malpighiales.
