Dilleniidae is a botanical name at the rank of subclass. [1] [2] Circumscription of the subclass will vary with the taxonomic system being used; the only requirement being that it includes the family Dilleniaceae. A well-known system that uses this name is the Cronquist system, and in the original 1981 version of the system the circumscription was:
- subclass Dilleniidae
- order Dilleniales
- order Theales
- order Malvales
- order Lecythidales
- order Nepenthales
- order Violales
- order Salicales
- order Capparales
- order Batales
- order Ericales
- order Diapensiales
- order Ebenales
- order Primulales
Recent molecular systematic studies have shown that this group is polyphyletic. The APG II system does not use formal botanical names above the rank of order but assigns the plants involved to various orders in the asterids and rosids clades.
