Meliaceae
Nitrariaceae (+ Peganaceae and Tetradiclidaceae)
Rutaceae
Sapindaceae

A clade is a taxonomic group comprising a single Common ancestor and all the descendants of that ancestor In the APG II system for the classification of the Angiosperms the name rosids refers to a Clade, meaning a Monophyletic group of plants In the APG II system for the classification of the Angiosperms the name rosids refers to a Clade, meaning a Monophyletic group of plants Eudicots and Eudicotyledons are terms introduced by Doyle & Hotton (1991 to refer to a group of Flowering plants that had been called "tricolpates" or "non-Magnoliid Anacardiaceae (the cashew family) is a family of Flowering plants bearing Fruits that are Drupes and in some cases producing Burseraceae is a moderately sized family of 17-18 genera and about 540 Species of Flowering plants The actual numbers differ according to the The Meliaceae, or the Mahogany family, is a Flowering plant family of mostly Trees and Shrubs (and a few Herbaceous plants in Rutaceae, commonly known as the Rue or Citrus family is a family of Plants usually placed in the order Sapindales.

The Cronquist system of 1981 used a somewhat different circumscription, including the following families:

The difference with the APG II system is not as large as may appear, as the plants in the families Aceraceae and Hippocastanaceae stay in this order at APG II (both included in family Sapindaceae). A system of plant taxonomy, the Cronquist system is a scheme for the classification of flowering plants (or Angiosperms) Staphyleaceae is a small family of five genera of Flowering plants in the order Crossosomatales, native to the Northern Hemisphere and also in The Melianthaceae is a family of Flowering plants The APG II system includes them within the Rosid clade Sapindaceae, also known as the soapberry family, is a family of Flowering plants in the order Sapindales. Hippocastanaceae is the name given to a small group of Trees and Shrubs, when this group is treated as a familiy Aceraceae is a family of Flowering plants also called the Maple Family. Burseraceae is a moderately sized family of 17-18 genera and about 540 Species of Flowering plants The actual numbers differ according to the Anacardiaceae (the cashew family) is a family of Flowering plants bearing Fruits that are Drupes and in some cases producing The Simaroubaceae is a small mostly tropical family in the order Sapindales. The Meliaceae, or the Mahogany family, is a Flowering plant family of mostly Trees and Shrubs (and a few Herbaceous plants in Rutaceae, commonly known as the Rue or Citrus family is a family of Plants usually placed in the order Sapindales. The Zygophyllaceae, of about 250 species are a family of Flowering plants also known as the bean-caper or Caltrop family The species now comprising the family Nitrariaceae in APG II also belonged to this order in the Cronquist system as part of the family Zygophyllaceae, while those now in the family Kirkiaceae were present as part of the family Simaroubaceae.

Well-known members of Sapindales include citrus; maples, horse-chestnuts, lychees and rambutans; mangos and cashews; frankincense and myrrh; and mahogany.
