Scitamineae

Scitamineae

"Scitamineae" is a descriptive botanical name. Historically it has been applied to a remarkably stable group of flowering plants:
* at the rank of family in the Bentham & Hooker system (volume of 1883), placed in order "Epigynae" in the "Monocotyledones"
* at the rank of order in the Wettstein system and Engler system.

In the Wettstein system, last revised in 1935, it was circumscribed:
* order "Scitamineae"
*: family "Musaceae"
*: family "Zingiberaceae"
*: family "Cannaceae"
*: family "Marantaceae"

In the Engler system, update of 1964, it was circumscribed:
* order "Scitamineae"
*: family "Musaceae
*: family "Zingiberaceae
*: family "Cannaceae
*: family "Marantaceae
*: family "Lowiaceae

The Cronquist system, of 1981, also treats the plants so united as a unit, also at the rank of order, but by splitting has increased the number of families to eight, in total). However, the order is named "Zingiberales" and is placed in subclass "Zingiberidae", which in its turn belongs to the class "Liliopsida" [=monocotyledons] .

The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, 1998), recognises this same order "Zingiberales" (with the same eight families) but assigns it to the clade commelinids in the monocots.
