 Ranunculales/Hoot
Now we know that this family is among the most derived within the Ranunculales, and instead Papaveraceae, Furmariaceae, and Euptelea are among the earliest branching groups.
The third surprise is the inclusion of Euptelea within the Ranunculales.
Molecular data show this genus to be near the base of the Ranunculales, although its exact position is not resolved.

 PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Magnoliidae -- Spring 1999
Today, the core families associated directly or indirectly with the Ranunculales are Lardizabalaceae, Menispermaceae, Berberidaceae, Hydrastidaceae, Ranunculaceae, Circaeasteraceae, Pteridophyllaceae and Papaveraceae, to use the sequence adopted recently by Thorne (1997).
All of these families form a distinct core with Cronquist defining the Ranunculales and Papaverales as those basically terrestrial members of the Magnoliidae without ethereal oil cells and with triaperaturate pollen.
His distinction between Ranunculales and Papaverales was based on the number of sepals (more than two in the former, only 2 in the latter) and the generally apocarpous (Ranunculales) versus syncarpous (Papaverales) pistil.

 Evolution (from Ranunculales) --  Encyclopædia Britannica   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In Ranunculales, one of the most advanced orders of the subclass Magnoliidae, the general evolutionary trend from woody to herbaceous plants appears to have been reversed.
Although it is generally considered that herbaceous Ranunculales have evolved from woody ancestors, there is evidence that some of these herbs have undergone further evolutionary reversion…

 Characteristic morphological features (from Ranunculales) --  Encyclopædia Britannica
In contrast to the Magnoliales and Laurales, the Ranunculales lack ethereal oil cells, and the pollen either has three apertures or is derived from this type.
The carpels are not fused in most Ranunculales.

The Calycanthaceae and Idiospermaceae are segregated as the new order Calycanthales, which is hypothesized to be the archetype for angiosperms.
Including Papaveraceae, the Ranunculales is monophyletic, with Lardizabalaceae as a first branch.
The Ranunculales is more closely related to the Hamamelidae, forming the clade Tricolpates.

The strict consensus of two shortest trees reveals a well-supported Ranunculales as sister to the remainder of eudicots, followed by Proteales, Sabiaceae + Buxaceae + Didymeliaceae + Trochodendraceae, and core eudicots.
Papaveraceae are the subsequent sister to the remaining Ranunculales.
Lardizabalaceae and Circaeasteraceae form a clade that is sister to Menispermaceae and a clade of Ranunculaceae + Berberidaceae.

In one instance I wanted to get to Ranunculus bulbosus.
I had to click myself through 10 levels of hierarchy: starting at Plants, botanical families, phanerogamia, angiosperma, dicotyletones, polypetalae, thalamiflorae, ranales, ranunculales, and finally ranunculaceae.
Then, once there, you realize that of the remedies shown, all but one belong to families BUT the ranunculaceae!
