Hamamelidales
The
Hamemelidales are an order of dicotyledons in the
Cronquist system, including the following families:
- Family Hamamelidaceae (witch hazel family)
- Family Cercidiphyllaceae (katsura tree)
- Family Eupteleaceae
- Family Platanaceae (plane trees)
- Family Myrothamnaceae (resurrection bush)
These served as the prototype for the subclass Hamamelidae. In newer classifications, these families are scattered among various other orders of dicots, most notably the
Saxifragales.
