The Subclass Magnoliidae is further organized into finer groupings including:
- Order (18): Annonales · Aristolochiales · Austrobaileyales · Balanophorales · Calycanthales · Canellales · Chloranthales · Cynomoriales · Eupomatiales · Hydnorales · Illiciales · Lactoridales · Laurales · Magnoliales · Myristicales · Piperales · Rafflesiales · Winterales
Orders
Annonales
Aristolochiales
Aristolochiales is an of flowering plants. It is not recognised in the APG or APG II systems, in which it is considered a synonym of Piperales. It also is not recognized in the Thorne system. [more]
Austrobaileyales
Balanophorales
Calycanthales
Canellales
Canellales is the for an order of flowering plants, one of the four orders of the magnoliids. It is defined to contain two families: Canellaceae and Winteraceae, which comprise 136 species of fragrant trees and shrubs. The Canellaceae are found in tropical America and Africa, and the Winteraceae are part of the Antarctic flora (found in diverse parts of the southern hemisphere). Although the order was defined based on phylogenetic studies, a number of possible synapomorphies have been suggested, relating to the pollen tube, the seeds, the thickness of the integument, and other aspects of the morphology.

Chloranthales
Chloranthaceae is the of a family of flowering plants. The family consists of four genera, totalling several dozen species, of herbaceous or woody plants primarily occurring 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. [more]
Cynomoriales
Eupomatiales
Hydnorales
Illiciales
Illiciales is the of an order of flowering plants. The order is not recognized by all plant taxonomists and is comprised differently in various systems of plant taxonomy, but is composed of 2-4 families of shrubs, trees, and lianas native to Australasia, south eastern Asia, and the southeastern United States. The families all contain species with essential oils, and flowers with a perianth with bracts (when present), sepals, and petals incompletely distinguished from each other and not arranged in definite whorls.

Lactoridales
Laurales
The Laurales are an order of . They are a basal group of dicots, related to, and formerly sometimes included in, the Magnoliales. [more]
Magnoliales
Magnoliales is an order of . [more]
Myristicales
Piperales
Piperales is a for an order of flowering plants. It necessarily includes the family Piperaceae but otherwise has been treated variously over time. Well-known plants which may be included in this order include black pepper, kava, lizard's tail, birthwort, and wild ginger. [more]
Rafflesiales
Rafflesiales is a of an order of flowering plants. The name was first published by Oliver in 1895. The Cronquist system used this name for an order placed in subclass Rosidae with the following circumscription (1981) : [more]
Winterales
Canellales is the for an order of flowering plants, one of the four orders of the magnoliids. It is defined to contain two families: Canellaceae and Winteraceae, which comprise 136 species of fragrant trees and shrubs. The Canellaceae are found in tropical America and Africa, and the Winteraceae are part of the Antarctic flora (found in diverse parts of the southern hemisphere). Although the order was defined based on phylogenetic studies, a number of possible synapomorphies have been suggested, relating to the pollen tube, the seeds, the thickness of the integument, and other aspects of the morphology.

At least 301 species and subspecies belong to the Order Winterales.
