Violales is a botanical name of an order of flowering plants and takes its name from the included family Violaceae; it was proposed by Lindley (1853). [1] The name has been used in several systems, [2] although some systems used the name Parietales for similar groupings. [3] In the 1981 version of the influential Cronquist system, order Violales was placed in subclass Dilleniidae with a circumscription consisting of the families listed below. [4] Some classifications such as that of Dahlgren placed the Violales in the superorder Violiflorae (also called Violanae). [5]
The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) system does not recognize order Violales; Violaceae is placed in order Malpighiales and the other families are reassigned to various orders as indicated. [6]
