Cornales
The
Cornales are an order of
flowering plants, basal among the asterid group of dicotyledons. Newer classifications include the following families:
- Family Cornaceae (dogwood family)
- Family Nyssaceae
- Family Hydrangeaceae (hydrangea family)
- Family Loasaceae (stickleaf family)
- Family Hydrostachyaceae
- Family Curtisiaceae (cape lancewood)

Under the older
Cronquist system the order instead comprised the families Cornaceae, Garryaceae, and Alangiaceae, and was placed among the Rosidae.
