Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Ranunculales Scientific Classification Kingdom: Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Order: Ranunculales The Ranunculales are an order of flowering plants, which belong among the basal eudicotss. Newer systems include the following families: Family Ranunculaceae (buttercup family) Family Berberidaceae (barberry family) Family Menispermaceae (monseed family) Family Lardizabalaceae Family Circaeasteraceae Family Eupteleaceae Family Papaveraceae (poppy family) Family Fumariaceae Family Pteridophyllaceae A few other families may be separated out from the Ranunculaceae. In the older Cronquist system, the Eupteleaceae were excluded, and the Papaveraceae and Fumariaceae (including the Pteridophyllaceae) were treated as a separate order Papaverales.
