Urticales is a botanical name for what used to be an order of flowering plantswp. 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 comprisingwp:
- 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 Rosaleswp.
