Encyclopedia : S : SO : SOL : Solanales
The Solanales are an order of flowering plants, included in the asterid group of dicotyledons. Some older sources used the name Polemoniales for this order.
The following families are included here in newer systems:
- Family Solanaceae (nightshade family; includes Nolanaceae)
- Family Convolvulaceae (morning glory family)
- Family Montiniaceae

Under the older Cronquist system, the latter three families were placed elsewhere, and a number of others were included:
- Family Duckeodendraceae
- Family Nolanaceae
- Family Cuscutaceae
- Family Retziaceae
- Family Menyanthaceae
- Family Polemoniaceae
