Taxonomy
In the Apg3 classification Malpighiales is an Order in Fabidae. Malpighiales combine with Celastrales and Oxalidales in the COM clade. Malpighiales is a huge Order, containing about 16000 species, about 8% of the eudicots. It contains 32 to 42 families, depending upon which clades are given the taxonomic rank of Family.
The research shows as main clades:
Violales, Euphorbiaceae, Clusiaceae, Ochnaceae, Chrysobalanaceae,Rhizophoraceae Malppighiaceae, Linaceae all the the broad sense defined.
Besides there are small unplaced Families Caryocaraceae, Centroplacaceae, Hugoniaceae, Humiriaceae, Irvingaceae, Ixonanthaceae, Lophophyxidaceae, Pandaceae, Putranjivaceae.
In older classifications Mapighiales did not exist. Only the Hutchinson classification has an Order Mapighiales, consisting of Malpighiaceae. Erythroxylaceae and Humiriaceae.
In the Plant theory Malpighiales is split in Violales and Euphorbiales and parts are tranfered to Celastrales. In the first version Euphorbiales was named Malpighiales and was differently organised
