Taxonomic HistoryEdit

Lamiales previously haed a restrictit circumscription (e.g., bi Arthur Cronquist) that included the major faimilies Lamiaceae (Labiatae), Verbenaceae, an Boraginaceae plus a few smawer faimilies. Recent phylogenetic wirk haes shawn that Lamiales is polyphyletic wi respect tae order Scrophulariales an the twa groups are nou uisually combined in a single order that an aa includes the umwhile orders Hippuridales an Plantaginales. Lamiales haes acome the preferred name for this much lairger combined group. The placement o Boraginaceae is unclear but phylogenetic wirk shows that this faimily daes nae belong in Lamiales.

An aa, the circumscription o faimily Scrophulariaceae, formerly a paraphyletic group defined primarily bi plesiomorphic chairacters an frae within which numerous ether faimilies o the Lamiales war derived, haes been radically altered tae creaut a nummer o smawer, better-defined an putatively monophyletic faimilies.
