How can Berberidopsidaceae be an 'unplaced' family[edit]

when below you also have the order Berberidopsidiales? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.68.94.86 (talk) 16:45, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Very good question. The answer seems to be that the cladogram at the top of Eudicots#Subdivisions is based on the APG III system, whereas the list below is based on the APG II system. Clearly this needs to be fixed. Peter coxhead (talk) 21:27, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Some time ago, the page was moved from "Eudicots" to "Eudicotyledon".

No consensus was established for the move; this should have been raised here and at WT:PLANTS.
The term used in the APG system, the basis of flowering plant classification in the English Wikipedia, is "eudicots".
Google searches, for what they are worth, show about 8,900 hits for "eudicotyledon" and 1,190,000 for "eudicots", so the WP:COMMONNAME is clearly "eudicots".

I've undone the move. Restoring it requires consensus first. Peter coxhead (talk) 14:17, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
