TaxonomyIn the
Apg3 classification is an order in
Malvidae.
Crossosomatales were formerly associated with
Celastrales and
Dilleniales.
Plant theoryCrossosomatales is quite diverse, making it difficult to discern as one clade. Such diversity is often the case in
Phase 1, as if the plants have not found the form of the Subclass yet. Little is known about these plants in homeopathy.
In the
Plant theory Crossosomatales is treated as a family, and is tentatively placed in
Thymelaeales as
Subphase 2.
In the first version of the
Plant theory Crossosomatales was tentatively placed in
Phase 2. But the order has too few members to cover a whole Phase.
