  Violales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Violales used to be an order of flowering plants in the Cronquist classification.
The families comprising Violales have been relocated as follows (APG II, 2003):

 Flacourtiaceae biography .ms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Flacourtiaceae, or the Indian plum family, is a family of plants within the order Violales.
It is often complained that Arthur Cronquist had a habit of dumping all the left-over members of an order -- the "scraps" that did not clearly fit into any one family in that order with closely related genera -- into a single catch-all family, or "garbage pail" family.
If human use and economic importance of these plants is what is analyzed, a few recurring themes in use occur, such as the large number that provide popularly eaten fruits, provide wood, or are used as hedge plants (not only the xylosma but the kei apple (Dovyalis caffra) is popular in hedging).

 Bixaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Under the Cronquist system, it was traditionally placed in the order Violales.
However, newer arrangements move it, with some other families previously in the Violales families, into the Malvales.
Bixaceae includes 3 genera and a total of 25 species, although Cochlospermum is sometimes placed into its own family, Cochlospermaceae.

 Evolution (from Violales) --  Encyclopædia Britannica   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Violales have vague boundaries separating them from other orders and the criteria currently used often seem arbitrary or inadequate.
The principal criterion used to separate the Violales from the Theales involves the position of attachment (placentation) of the ovules.

 PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Dilleniidae -- Spring 1999
Thorne's Violanae are restricted to a single order, Violales, and this is divided into four suborders with much of the same makeup as that of Cronquist's order.
The overall assessment may be reviewed in the comparison table of the Violales sensu Cronquist.
I concur with Cronquist (1981) that the Flacourtiaceae represent the basal element within the Violales and is rather well removed from the remaining families as I define the order.

 PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Dilleniidae -- Spring 1999
A clear distinction between Cronquist's Theales and Violales is hard to justfy, as he stated in 1988.
The distinction between the two rests primarily on placentation, with it being generally axile in the Theales and parietal in the Violales.
Taking this one feature alone diminishes other features that tend to unite certain groups of families in his Violales with others in his Theales; the small families Ancistrocladaceae and Dionocphyllaceae being but two examples.

The order Violales has recently been considered to be an offshoot of the order Theales; the families of Violales have been thought to be ancestors…
Most species included in the Violales are small trees, herbs, or vines; none are conspicuous ecologically or are predominant members of their respective floras because the majority of tropical species are widely dispersed and uncommon.
Few species dominate their habitats, unlike the situation in most temperate or northern forests where two or three species may constitute...

Under the older Cronquist system, the families now included in the Malpighiales were dispersed throughout a number of different orders, not all of which belonged to the Rosidae.
The most notable of these are the Polygalales, Violales, Theales, Linales, and Euphorbiales.
The type family, the Malpighiaceae, was placed in Polygalales, an order still recognised by ITIS.
