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 >

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 ).

* Angiosperm Phylogeny Group: An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG III.

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.

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

The cladogram has been made according to the APG system:

Studies based on DNA sequences also indicate that the family Schoepfiaceae should be resurrected ( as has been done in the updated APG III-publication ) to accommodate Schoepfia ( formerly in Olacaceae ), Arjona and Quinchamalium ( both previously in Santalaceae ).

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.

In the APG system, genus Carya ( and the whole Juglandaceae family ) has been recently moved to the Fagales order.

Molecular phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences has shown that Agapanthus is sister to a clade consisting of subfamilies Allioideae and Amaryllidoideae of the family Amaryllidaceae ( sensu APG III ).

The most recent APG classification, APG III, takes a broad view of the Amaryllidaceae, which then has three subfamilies, one of which is Amaryllidoideae ( the old Amaryllidaceae family ), and the others are Allioideae ( the old Alliaceae family ) and Agapanthoideae ( the old Agapanthaceae family ).

The APG II system, of 2003, has accepted this genus as constituting its own family Xeronemataceae.

The Geographical Association, in conjunction with the Royal Geographical Society ( RGS-IBG ) has been awarded Government funding to support a range of projects as part of the Action Plan for Geography ( APG ) covering the period 2006-11.

In the APG III system of classification ( the standard agreed by WikiProject Plants ), Agavaceae has been replaced by Agavoideae.

According to APG II system, the current placement of these genera is perhaps mostly in the ' new ' Malvaceae sensu lato, but with Muntingia moved to family Muntingiaceae, while tribes VI and VII form the core of family Elaeocarpaceae and tribe V has been moved to the ' new ' family Salicaceae sensu lato.

The name has not been used in most of the more influential recent classification systems, such as the Cronquist system, the Thorne system, the Takhtajan system or the APG II system.

Traditionally it has been treated in the family Chenopodiaceae, but the APG II system, of 2003, places it in the family Sarcobataceae.

More recently, the APG II system has greatly expanded the scope of the family by including many genera previously classified in the Flacourtiaceae.

A phylogenetic infrafamilial classification of Celastraceae sensu APG III has not yet been published.
