Editing Solanales (section)

==Taxonomy==

The following families are included here in newer systems such as that of the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group]] (APG):
* Family [[Solanaceae]] ([[nightshade]] family; includes Nolanaceae as well as [[potato|potatoes]], [[eggplant]]s, [[tomato]]es, [[Capsicum|chili peppers]], [[tobacco]], and [[petunia]]s)
* Family [[Convolvulaceae]] ([[morning glory]] and [[sweet potato]])
* Family [[Montiniaceae]]
* Family [[Sphenocleaceae]]
* Family [[Hydroleaceae]]

The APG II classification treats the Solanales in the group [[Euasterids I]].


Under the older [[Cronquist system]], the latter three families were placed elsewhere, and a number of others were included:
* Family [[Duckeodendraceae]] (now treated as a [[Synonym (taxonomy)|synonym]] of Solanaceae)
* Family [[Nolanaceae]] (now treated as a synonym of Solanaceae)
* Family [[Cuscutaceae]] (now treated as a synonym of Convolvulaceae)
* Family [[Retziaceae]] (now treated as a synonym of [[Stilbaceae]], order [[Lamiales]])
* Family [[Menyanthaceae]] (now placed in order [[Asterales]])
* Family [[Polemoniaceae]] (now placed in order [[Ericales]])
* Family [[Hydrophyllaceae]] (now treated as a synonym of [[Boraginaceae]])

In the [[Dahlgren system|classification system of Dahlgren]] the Solanales were in the [[superorder]] Solaniflorae (also called Solananae).
