A well-known system that did use this name is the Cronquist system (1981), but it was also used by the Takhtajan system:

APG system


The APG II system does not use formal botanical names above the rank of order; most of the plants involved here are assigned to the clade 'commelinids' in the 'monocots' (its predecessor, the APG system knew the clade 'commelinoids').
