Lamiidae.
TaxonomyThe name
Malvidae or Malvids is used in different ways. Originally in Apg2 it was for the Orders
Brassicales,
Malvales and
Sapindales. They were then called Eurosids 2. In Apg3 the small Orders of Crossomateles,
Huerteales and
Picramniales were added. The name
Malvidae is used for this group in the restricted sense now.
Geraniales and
Myrtales are associated with
Malvidae. They are seen as a sister group, allied with
Malvidae but not belonging to the core
Malvidae. Sometimes they are also called
Malvidae, extended
Malvidae.
In the
Plant theory the name
Malvanae is used for the Class and
Malvidae for the Subclass. The Order
Santalales is added to the
Malvidae.
Saxifragales is added to the Class
Malvanae. The
Family Halogaraceae is split off from the Saxifragles and placed in its own Order Halogarales.
