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.

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 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.

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

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.

In APG II, the family Thismiaceae has been included in family Burmanniaceae and the families Taccaceae and Trichopodaceae have been included in family Dioscoreaceae.

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.

Under the APG II definition some well-known members of Dipsacales are honeysuckle, elder, viburnum, and valerian.

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

In the APG II circumscription this order includes the families Fabaceae or legumes ( including the subfamilies Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae, and Faboideae ), Quillajaceae, Polygalaceae or milkworts ( including the families Diclidantheraceae, Moutabeaceae, and Xanthophyllaceae ), and Surianaceae.

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 system ( 2003 ) places this order in the clade monocots and uses this circumscription:

It used a much wider circumscription ( many of the plants here are assigned to Asparagales and Dioscoreales by APG II ):

Other well-known members of Malvales in the APG II sense are daphnes, hibiscus, hollyhocks, okra, baobab trees, cotton, and kapok.

Since the APG II system was published in 2003, minor changes to the circumscription of the order have been made.

The APG system ( 1998 ) and the APG II system ( 2003 ) place this order in the clade magnoliids, circumscribed as follows:

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.

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 family is included in Brassicales according to the APG system.

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

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

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

The APG III system, of 2009 from the APG system ( 1998 ) and the APG II system ( 2003 ), recognizes this order and assigns it to the clade commelinids, in the monocots.

The APG II system of 2003 ( unchanged from the APG system, 1998 ) also recognizes the family, and assigns it to the order Zingiberales in the clade commelinids, in the monocots.

The APG II system, of 2003 ( unchanged from the APG system, of 1998 ), recognizes this family and places it in the order Liliales, in the clade monocots.

The APG II system, of 2003, also recognizes this order, and places it in the clade eudicots with this circumscription:

The APG III system of 2009 recognizes this family, and assigns it to the order Piperales in the unranked clade magnoliids.

The APG II system, of 2003, also recognizes this family and assigns it to the order Gunnerales in the clade core eudicots.

The APG III system recognizes the family Gunneraceae and places Myrothamnus in the separate family Myrothamnaceae ; both families are placed in the order Gunnerales in the core eudicots.

The APG II system, of 2003 ( unchanged from the APG system, 1998 ), recognizes this family and assigns it to the order Poales, in the clade commelinids of the monocots.

The APG II system, of 2003 ( unchanged from the APG system, 1998 ), also recognizes this family, and assigns it to the order Poales in the clade commelinids, in the monocots.

The APG II system, of 2003 ( unchanged from the APG system, 1998 ), also recognizes this family, and assigns it to the order Zingiberales in the clade commelinids in the monocots.

The APG II system, of 2003 ( unchanged from the APG system, of 1998 ), also recognizes this family, and assigns it to the order Poales in the clade commelinids, in the monocots.

The APG II system ( 2003 ; unchanged from the APG system of 1998 ), recognizes this family and assigns it to the order Caryophyllales in the clade core eudicots.

The APG II system, of 2003 ( unchanged from the APG system, of 1998 ), also recognizes this family and places it in the order Commelinales, in the clade commelinids, in the monocots.

The APG II system of 2003, recognizes Nelumbonaceae as a distinct family and places it in the order Proteales, in the eudicot clade.
