Pandanales
Pandanales
(
pandans
or
screw-pines
) is the
botanical name
for an
order
of
flowering plants
placed in the
monocot
clade
in the
Angiosperm Phylogeny Group
and
Angiosperm Phylogeny Web
systems
. Within the monocots Pandanales are grouped in the
lilioid monocots
where they are in a
sister group
relationship with the
Dioscoreales
. Historically the order has consisted of a number of different
families
in different systems but modern classification of the order is based primarily on
molecular phylogenetics
despite diverse
morphology
which previously placed many of the families in other groupings based on apparent similarity. Members of the order have a subtropical distribution and includes palms,
trees
,
shrubs
, and
vines
as well as
herbaceous
plants. The order consists of 5 families, 36 genera and about 1,300
species
.
