[edit] Circumscription

As with all taxa, the circumscription of the Caryophyllales has changed within various classification systems. All systems recognize a core of families with centrospermous ovules and seeds. More recent treatments have expanded the Caryophyllales to include most carnivorous plants. A taxon (plural taxa), or taxonomic unit, is a grouping of organisms (named or unnamed). ...

[edit] APG II

As circumscribed by the APG II system (2003), this order includes well-known plants like cacti, carnations, spinach, beet, rhubarb, sundews, venus fly traps, and bougainvillea. Recent molecular and biochemical evidence has resolved additional well-supported clades within the Caryophyllales.

The difference with the order as recognized by APG lies in the first place in the concept of "order". The APG favours much larger orders and families, and the order Caryophyllales sensu APG should rather be compared to subclass Caryophyllidae sensu Cronquist. Orders Caryophyllales Polygonales Plumbaginales Caryophyllidae is a subclass of plants in the older Cronquist classification scheme. ...

A part of the difference lies with what families are recognized. The plants in the Stegnospermataceae and Barbeuiaceae were included in Cronquist's Phytolaccaceae. The Chenopodiaceae (still recognized by Cronquist) are included in Amaranthaceae by APG.

New to the order (sensu APG) are the Asteropeiaceae and Physenaceae, each containing a single genus, and two genera from Cronquist's order Nepenthales. The Nepenthales are an order of dicotyledons, including several kinds of carnivorous plants. ...

[edit] Earlier circumscriptions

Earlier systems, such as the Wettstein system, last edition in 1935, and the Engler system, updated in 1964, had a similar order under the name Centrospermae. A system of plant taxonomy, the Wettstein system recognised the following main groups, according to R. Wettstein (4th edition, 1935). ... One of the prime systems of plant taxonomy, the Engler system was devised by Adolf Engler. ... Centrospermae is a descriptive botanical name, published in 1878 by Eichler, meaning with the seed in the center, referring to the free-central placentation. ...
