Dilleniales

The Dilleniales are an order of flowering plants, primarily comprising the family Dilleniaceae. This family includes about 300 species of trees, shrubs, and woody vines found in tropical and subtropical regions. Dilleniaceae are recognizable by their leaves, which often have strong, parallel veins that extend into the teeth, and a rough texture. The flowers are typically radially symmetric with multiple sepals, petals, stamens, and separate carpels that develop into follicles containing seeds. Some species, particularly in the genus Hibbertia, are cultivated as ornamentals. Historically, Dilleniaceae's taxonomic placement has shifted, but the 2016 APG IV system reinstated the order within the core eudicots.12
