Najadales

Najadales is the botanical name of an order of flowering plants. A well-known system that used this name is the Cronquist system (1981), which used this name for an order in subclass Alismatidae with this circumscription:


 * order Najadales
 * family Aponogetonaceae
 * family Scheuchzeriaceae
 * family Juncaginaceae
 * family Potamogetonaceae
 * family Ruppiaceae
 * family Najadaceae
 * family Zannichelliaceae
 * family Posidoniaceae
 * family Cymodoceaceae
 * family Zosteraceae

The APG II system, used here, assigns the plants involved to the expanded order Alismatales, in the clade 'monocots'.
