Campanulales

Platycodon grandiflorus

Campanulales is a valid botanic name for a plant order. It was used in the Cronquist system as an order within the subclass Asteridae in the class Magnoliopsida flowering plants. As then circumscribed it included the families:

Pentaphragmataceae In Watson and Dallwitz this family has 1 genus, Pentaphragma with 30 species from southeast Asia.
Sphenocleaceae - 1 genus
Campanulaceae (harebells) - 28 genera
Stylidiaceae In Watson and Dallwitz it has 5 genera and 150 species.
Donatiaceae
Brunoniaceae In Watson and Dallwitz there is only one species in the family, Brunonia australis
Goodeniaceae (naupaka) - 1 genus

Campanulales is not recognized as an order in the APG II system, where the families are included in order Asterales, except for Sphenocleaceae in Solanales.
