Families[1]

The Solanales are an order of flowering plants, included in the asterid group of dicotyledons. Well-known members of Solanales include potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes, chilli peppers, tobacco, petunias, nightshades, morning glory, and sweet potato. Some older sources used the name Polemoniales for this order.

Taxonomy

[edit]

The following families are included here in newer systems such as that of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG):

The APG II classification treats the Solanales in the group Euasterids I.


Under the older Cronquist system, the latter three families were placed elsewhere, and a number of others were included:

In the classification system of Dahlgren the Solanales were in the superorder Solaniflorae (also called Solananae).
