Hydrocharitales

Hydrocharitales is a botanical name of an order of flowering plants. The Cronquist system (1981) used this name for an order in subclass Alismatidae, with this circumscription:

• order Hydrocharitales

  family Hydrocharitaceae

Hydrocharis morsus-ranae, a member of the family Hydrocharitaceae

The APG II system, used here, assigns most of the plants involved to the expanded order Alismatales,^[1] in the clade monocots.
