Asparagales is the name of an order of plants, used in modern classification systems such as the APG III system ( which is used throughout this article ).

The families of the Asparagales, as set out in the APG III system, are briefly surveyed below.

The APG III system ( 2009 ) differs only in that the Limnocharitaceae are combined with the Alismataceae ; it was also suggested that the genus Maundia ( of the Juncaginaceae ) could be separated into a monogeneric family, Maundiaceae, but the authors noted that more study was necessary before Maundiaceae could be recognized.

The families given at right are those recognized in the APG III system.

The order Apiales is placed within the asterid group of eudicots as circumscribed by the APG III system.

The name and order Asterales is botanically venerable, dating back to at least 1926 in the Hutchinson system of plant taxonomy when it contained only five families, of which only two are retained in the APG III classification.

Under the Cronquist system of taxonomic classification of flowering plants Asteraceae was the only family in the group, but newer systems ( such as APG II and APG III ) have expanded it to eleven.

The family is solidly placed within the Apiales order in the APG III classification system.

The APG III system ( 2009 ) places the genus in the family Xanthorrhoeaceae, subfamily Asphodeloideae .< ref >

The APG III system has recently adopted this last solution, but this may change as a consensus arises on this point.

According to the most recent classification scheme, the APG III of 2009, the order includes five families: Commelinaceae, Haemodoraceae, Hanguanaceae, Philydraceae, and Pontederiaceae.

The present classification is due to APG III ( 2009 ).

Those marked with an asterisk are recognized in the APG III system.

The APG III system ( 2009 ) places this order in the clade monocots.

In APG III, the family Luzuriagaceae is combined with the family Alstroemeriaceae and the family Petermanniaceae is recognized.

APG III uses this circumscription:

In the APG III system, 35 families are recognized.

The Orchidaceae is currently placed in the order Asparagales by the APG III system of 2009.

The APG III system ( 2009 ) accepts the order and places it in a clade called commelinids, in the monocots.

In the APG III system, it is placed in the order Caryophyllales.

In their APG III system of plant classification, they defined Rosales as consisting of the nine families listed in the taxobox on the right.

These families and their placement in the APG III system are shown below:

An example of a modern classification is the one published in 2009 by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group for all living flowering plant families ( the APG III system ).

The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system ( APG ) of 1998 and APG II ( 2003 ) assigned the Alismatales to the monocots, which may be thought of as an unranked clade containing the families listed below.

The order is not recognized in the APG II system, of 2003, which places the plants involved in the order Poales.

The Brassicales are an order of flowering plants, belonging to the eurosids II group of dicotyledons under the APG II system.

The family is included in Brassicales according to the APG system.

The APG II system, therefore, has merged the two families under the name ' Brassicaceae '.

This is unchanged from the APG II of 2003, but different from the older APG system of 1998, which did not include Hanguanaceae.

The APG II system, used here, assigns the plants involved to the order Poales.

In APG II system, of 2003, this order was placed in the clade monocots and comprised the families Burmanniaceae, Dioscoreaceae and Nartheciaceae.

Under the APG system of 1998, the order was placed in the clade monocots and comprised the families Burmanniaceae, Dioscoreaceae, Taccaceae, Thismiaceae and Trichopodaceae

Under the more recent Angiosperm Phylogeny Group ( APG II ) system, the circumscription of the order is much the same but the families are circumscribed differently.

The APG II system assigns these plants to the order Poales.

Based on phylogenetic research, the latest ( 2009 ) revision of the APG classification groups together the former families Hemerocallidaceae, Xanthorrhoeaceae sensu stricto and Asphodelaceae as the Xanthorrhoeaceae.

Based on phylogenetic research, the latest ( 2009 ) revision of the APG classification groups together these three families under the conserved name of Amaryllidaceae.

Based on phylogenetic research, the latest ( 2009 ) revision of the APG classification supports the use of a single broadly defined family, Asparagaceae sensu lato.

A paper published at the same time as the 2009 classification proposed seven subfamilies for the families recognized in the very first APG classification of 1998.

Successive revisions of the influential Angiosperm Phylogeny Group ( APG ) classification have changed the circumscription of the family.

* ( 2003 ): An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG II.

The other families treated in the Fabales by the APG II classification were placed in separate orders by Cronquist, the Polygalaceae within its own order, the Polygalales, and the Quillajaceae and Surianaceae within the Rosales.

The APG II classification treats the Solanales in the group Euasterids I.

Monocot classification has undergone considerable revision in recent years, and some newer systems, including the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group's APG III classification system, have assigned many of these genera to different families based on genetic relationships.

The scheme is still widely used, in either the original form or in adapted versions, but many botanists are adopting the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG III.

The following classification systems acknowledge family Bignoniaceae with the same circumscription as the APG II system classification: Cronquist's system, Dahlgren's classification, Reveal's classification, Stevens's classification, Takhtajan's classification and Thorne's classification.
