Euphorbiales

Euphorbiales is an order of flowering plants that is not currently recognized in the most authoritative modern treatment of plant taxonomy.^[1] In the APG II system (2003) the plants involved are mostly placed in the order Malpighiales.

Euphorba milii

A well known system that did recognize the order was the Cronquist system (1981) which placed the order in subclass Rosidae and used this circumscription:

• order Euphorbiales

  family Buxaceae

  family Simmondsiaceae

  family Euphorbiaceae (more broadly defined than in the APG II and III systems)

  family Pandaceae
