TaxonomyIn the Apg2 classification Droseracaeae and allied families are included in the Poygonales. They were already closely related to Caryophyllales and in the Apg3 classification they became included in
Caryophyllales. Droseracaeae and allied families form a clade within Polygonales.
In the Plant theory Droseracaeae and allied families are treated as an Order Droserales and placed in Phase 7 of the Subclass Caryophyllidae. Droserales are mostly carnivorous plants. The placement in Subphases is tentative.
