TheDilleniales are anorder offlowering plants, potentially containing one family,Dilleniaceae. TheAPG III system of 2009, like the earlierAPG II system of 2003, left the Dilleniaceae unplaced as to order, while noting that the name Dilleniales was available.[1] Stevens at theAngiosperm Phylogeny Website has subsequently placed Dilleniaceae in the order Dilleniales.[2]
TheCronquist system, of 1981, recognized such an order and placed it in subclassDilleniidae. It used the followingcircumscription:[citation needed]
TheTakhtajan system of 1969 had the families Dilleniaceae andCrossosomataceae in the order.[citation needed]
The APG III system assigned the second of these families, the Paeoniaceae, to the orderSaxifragales.[1]
