EspañolCOMMELINIDS
In plant taxonomy, the name 'commelinids' (plural, not capitalised) is used by the APG II system for a clade within the monocots, which in its turn is a clade within the angiosperms. The commelinids are the only clade that the APG II has named within the monocots, the remaining monocots are a paraphyletic unit, occasionally referred to as the "base monocots".
The commelinids of APG II (2003) contain basically the same plants as the commelinoids of the earlier APG system (1998).
★ clade commelinids:
★ :: family Dasypogonaceae
★ : order Arecales (palms)
★ : order Commelinales (spiderwort, water hyacinth)
★ : order Poales (grasses, rushes, many crops such as rice, wheat, maize, sugar cane, pineapple)
★ : order Zingiberales (including ginger, banana)
