Juncales

Juncales is an order of flowering plants.^[1] In the Engler system (update, of 1964) and in the Cronquist system (of 1981, which placed this order in subclass Commelinidae) it is circumscribed as:

• order Juncales

  family Juncaceae

  family Thurniaceae

Juncus effusus

However, the Thorne system (1992) accepts it as consisting of :

• order Juncales

  family Prioniaceae

  family Thurniaceae

  family Juncaceae

  family Cyperaceae

The APG II system, used here, assigns the plants involved to the order Poales.
