Hamamelidales

The Hamemelidales are an order of dicotyledons in the Cronquist system, including the following families:

• Family Hamamelidaceae (witch hazel family)
• Family Cercidiphyllaceae (katsura tree)
• Family Eupteleaceae
• Family Platanaceae (plane trees)
• Family Myrothamnaceae (resurrection bush)

These served as the prototype for the subclass Hamamelidae. In newer classifications, these families are scattered among various other orders of dicots, most notably the Saxifragales.
