Myrtales

"The Myrtales are an order of flowering plants placed as a sister to the eurosids II clade as of the publishing of the Eucalyptus grandis genome in June 2014.

The APG III system of classification for angiosperms still places it within the eurosids. This finding is corroborated by the placement of the Myrtales in the Malvid clade by the One Thousand Plant Transcriptomes Initiative. The following families are included as of APGĀ III:

Alzateaceae S. A. Graham

Combretaceae R. Br. (leadwood family)

Crypteroniaceae A. DC.

Lythraceae J. St.-Hil. (loosestrife and pomegranate family)

Melastomataceae Juss. (including Memecylaceae DC.)" - (en.wikipedia.org 22.01.2022)
