Order: unplaced
Family: Chloranthaceae

Chloranthaceae is the botanical name of a family of flowering plants. Such a family has been recognised by many taxonomists, at least after the plants were discovered, which was relatively recently.

The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998), does recognise such a family and places it in its own order the Chloranthales. It is accepted among the most basic lineages in the clade angiosperms. The family consists of a few genera, totalling several dozen species, of woody plants in the tropics and sub-tropics.

Members of this family are aromatic and have opposite leaves with distinctive serrate margins and interpetiolar stipules (similar to the stipules found in family Rubiaceae). The flowers are inconspicuous, and arranged in inflorescences. Petals are absent in this family, and sometimes so are sepals. The flowers can be either hermaphrodite or of separate sexes. The fruit is drupe-like, consisting of one carpel.

The Cronquist system, of 1981, assigned the family

to the order Piperales
in subclass Magnoliidae
in class Magnoliopsida
of division Magnoliophyta .

The Thorne system (1992) placed it

in the order Magnoliales, which was assigned
to superorder Magnolianae
in subclass Magnoliideae ,
in class Magnoliopsida .

The Dahlgren system raised the family to be

its own order Chloranthales, which was assigned
to superorder Magnolianae
in subclass Magnoliideae ,
in class Magnoliopsida .
