Arecales

*** Shopping-Tip: Arecales
'''''Arecales''''' is a botanical name for an order (biology) order of flowering plants. Systems such as the Cronquist system (1981), the APG system (1998) and the APG II system (2003) use it for an order of one family only : * order ''Arecales'' *: family ''Arecaceae'' (or ''Palmae'') The difference is in the higher placement. Cronquist assigns this order to the subclass ''Arecidae'' in the class ''Liliopsida''. By contrast APG and APG II place it in the clade '''commelinoids''', respectively '''commelinids''', in the clade '''monocots'''. Note that, until not that long ago, this order was named ''Principes (botany) Principes''. Category:Plant taxonomy pt:Arecales
