'''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, [[list of systems of plant taxonomy|systems]], with some variations in [[wiktionary: cirumscription|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}}.
