The Urticales are an order of dicotyledons in the
Cronquist system of classification for flowering plants, including
the following families:
These range from small herbaceous plants to large trees, blooming from the late spring to early fall. The Urticales were
placed within the subclass Hamamelididae, variously considered close relatives of other orders such as the Hamamelidales, Juglandales,
Leitneriales, Fagales, Casuarinales, Myricales, and Daphniphyllales. Phylogenetic
systems, however, generally subsume the order into the Rosales.
