Dipsacales
Fragrant tubular blooms of Viburnum carlesii (Korean spice viburnum).
The order Dipsacales consists of two primary plant families:
- Adoxaceae
- Caprifoliaceae (which includes the former families Diervillaceae, Dipsacaceae, Linnaeaceae, Morinaceae, and Valerianaceae)1
While some older classifications or alternative sources may suggest different groupings or historical placements for these plants, modern botanical classification recognizes these two families as the constituents of the order.12
