Oxalidales
The
Oxalidales are an order of flowering plants, included within the rosid subgroup of dicotyledons. The following families are typically placed here:
- Family Oxalidaceae (wood sorrel family)
- Family Connaraceae
- Family Elaeocarpaceae
- Family Cunoniaceae
- Family Cephalotaceae
- Family Brunelliaceae
Under the older
Cronquist system, most of the above families were placed in the
Rosales. The Oxalidaceae were placed in the
Geraniales, and the Elaeocarpaceae split between the
Malvales and Polygalales, in the latter case being treated as the Tremandraceae.
