Myrtle Order

Myrtales sunt ordo plantarum florentium basalis positus grex in rosido dicotyledonum grege (non membrum eurosidarum I vel eurosidarum II). Familiae sequentes in recentioribus classificationibus inveniuntur:

• Alzateaceae
• Combretaceae
• Crypteroniaceae
• Heteropyxidaceae
• Lythraceae
• Melastomataceae
• Memecylaceae
• Myrtaceae
• Oliniaceae
• Onagraceae
• Penaeaceae
• Psiloxylaceae
• Rhynchocalycaceae
• Vochysiaceae

Systema Cronquist eandem compositionem plerumque dat, sed Vochysiaceas ad ordinem Polygalalum movet, et Thymelaeaceas includit; Sonneratiaceas, Trapaceas, et Punicaceas ex Lythraceis removet, dum Psioxylaceas et Heteropyxidaceas inter Myrtaceas ponit, et Memecyclaceas inter Melastomataceas.
