Order of flowering plants / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Piperales is an order of flowering plants (4,170 recognized species). It necessarily includes the family Piperaceae but other taxa have been included or disincluded variously over time. Well-known plants which may be included in this order include black pepper, kava, the many Peperomias, pepper elder, lizard's tail, birthwort, and wild ginger.[4] The two perianthless families Piperaceae and Saururaceae are mainly herbaceous plants possessing highly reduced flowers.[5][6]
