Malpighiales
Malpighiales is ane o the lairgest orders o flouerin plants, containin aboot 16000 species, approximately 7.8% o the eudicots.[2] The order is very diverse, containin plants as different as the willow, violet, Poinsettia an coca plant, an haird tae recognize except wi molecular phylogenetic evidence. It is nae pairt o ony o the classification seestems that are based anly on plant morphology.

Malpighiales is dividit intae 32 tae 42 faimilies, dependin upon which clades in the order are gien the taxonomic rank o faimily.[3] In the APG III seestem, 35 faimilies are recognized.[1] Medusagynaceae, Quiinaceae, Peraceae, Malesherbiaceae, Turneraceae, Samydaceae, an Scyphostegiaceae are consolidated intae ither faimilies. The lairgest faimily, by far, is Euphorbiaceae, wi aboot 6300 species in aboot 245 genera.[4]
In a 2009 study o DNA sequences o 13 genes, 42 faimilies wur placed intae 16 groups, rangin in size frae ane tae ten faimilies. Almaist nothing is kent aboot the relationships amang these 16 groups.[3] Malpighiales an Lamiales are the twa lairge orders whose phylogeny remains maistly unresolved.[5]
