Commelinidae is a botanical name at the rank of subclass. Circumscription of the subclass will vary with the taxonomic system being used (there are many such systems); the only requirement being that it includes the family Commelinaceae. A well-known system that did use this name is the Cronquist system (1981), but it was also used by the Takhtajan system: A botanical name is a formal name conforming to the ICBN. As with its zoological and bacterial equivalents it may also be called a scientific name. Botanical names may be in one part (genus and above), two parts (species) or three parts (below the rank of species). ... In biology, a subclass is one level below a class. ... This list of systems of plant taxonomy presents “taxonomic systems” used in plant classification. ... Genera See text Commelinaceae, or the spiderwort family, is a plant family consisting of about 650 species of herbs in 40 genera. ...

APG system

The APG II system does not use formal botanical names above the rank of order; most of the plants involved here are assigned to the clade commelinids in the monocots (its predecessor, the APG system knew the clade commelinoids). A modern system of plant taxonomy, the APG II system of plant classification was published in 2003 by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, APG, in Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (2003). ... In botanical nomenclature, a taxon is usually assigned to a rank in a hierarchy. ...
