Ranunculales
Ranunculales
is an
order
of
flowering plants
. Of necessity it contains the
family
Ranunculaceae
, the
buttercup
family, because the
name
of the order is
based
on the
name
of a
genus
in that family. Ranunculales belongs to a
paraphyletic
group
known as the basal eudicots. It is the most
basal
clade
in this group; in other words, it is
sister
to the remaining eudicots. Widely known members include
poppies
,
barberries
, and
buttercups
.
