Apiales

Plant Orders

Apiales is an order of flowering plants in the asterid group of eudicots, comprising seven families including Apiaceae, the carrot and parsley family, and Araliaceae, the ginseng family. Well-known members include carrots, celery, coriander, parsley, ginseng, and ivies. The order boundaries were established fairly recently, based on comparison of DNA sequences rather than shared physical form.
