Berberidopsidales
Encyclopedia
Berberidopsidales Doweld (2001) is a botanical name
at the rank of order. This name is only newly published: such an order has been recognized by very few taxonomists. The APG II system
, of 2003, merely mentions the possibility of recognizing the order, as
comprising the families Berberidopsidaceae
and Aextoxicaceae. However, APG II decided not to do so: it left the plants involved unplaced as to order, assigning them to the clade core eudicots. The APG III system
of 2009 formally recognized the order.
