LamialesSee text The Order Lamiales is a taxon in the asterid group of dicotyledonous flowering plants. The name Scrophulariales was often used instead of Lamiales. Since both the family Lamiaceae and family Scrophulariaceae are placed within the same order by cladistically-oriented taxonomists, either name may be used. However, in cladistic nomenclature, the Lamioid clade is a more basal clade than the Scrophularioid clade, and for this reason the AGP II and many taxonomists prefer Lamiales as the proper name for this order. Under the older Cronquist system of classification, the Lamiales included the families Lamiaceae, Verbenaceae, Boraginaceae, and Lennoaceae. Many of the other families listed below were placed in the Order Scrophulariales. Inclusion of all the following families is typical of newer classifications: Species in the order Lamiales show typically the following characteristics : There are about 11,000 species in the Lamiales. They are divided among 10 or more families (Uni-Ham 52e 2002-09-06): References - http://www.itis.usda.gov of 2002-05-31 TSN: 500018
