	Dioscoreales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The APG system, of 1998, also placed the order in the clade monocots with this circumscription:
		In APG II the family Thismiaceae has been included in family Burmanniaceae and the families Taccaceae and Trichopodaceae have been included in family Dioscoreaceae.
		Therefore the change is not as large as might appear, and the only plants to have moved across the borders of the order are those belonging to family Nartheciaceae.
