Editing Brassicales (section)

== Historic classifications ==
Under the [[Cronquist system]], the Brassicales were called the Capparales, and included among the "[[Dilleniidae]]".  The only families included were the [[Brassicaceae]] and [[Capparaceae]] (treated as separate families), the [[Tovariaceae]], [[Resedaceae]], and [[Moringaceae]].  Other taxa now included here were placed in various other orders.

The families Capparaceae and Brassicaceae are closely related.  One group, consisting of ''[[Cleome]]'' and related genera, was traditionally included in the Capparaceae but doing so results in a [[paraphyletic]] Capparaceae.<ref name="hall2002" />  Therefore, this group is generally now either included in the Brassicaceae or as its own family, [[Cleomaceae]].<ref name="Haston" /><ref>{{cite journal |author=Jocelyn C.
