Urticales

Urticales is a botanical name for what used to be an order of flowering plants^wp. This order was recognized in many, perhaps even most, systems, with some variations in circumscription. Among these is the Cronquist system (1981), which placed the order in the subclass Hamamelidae [sic], as comprising^wp:

• family Barbeyaceae
• family Cannabaceae
• family Cecropiaceae
• family Moraceae
• family Ulmaceae
• family Urticaceae

In the APG II system (2003) the plants belonging to this order, often in new family circumscriptions, are placed in the order Rosales^wp.
