Primulales

Primulales is the botanical name of an order of flowering plants. This name was used in several systems with little variation in circumscription (see Bentham & Hooker, Engler and Wettstein system). In the 1981 version of the Cronquist system it was an order placed in subclass Dilleniidae with the following circumscription:

• order Primulales

  family Myrsinaceae

  family Primulaceae

  family Theophrastaceae

The APG III system includes all the plants involved in the (expanded) order Ericales.
