Urticales The Rhamnales are an order of dicotyledon plants. In the Cronquist system, the following families were placed here:

* Family Elaeagnaceae – (Oleaster family)
* Family Leeaceae
* Family Rhamnaceae (buckthorn family)
* Family Vitaceae (grape family)

"Leea" may be included within the Vitaceae. The Rhamnaceae are no longer considered close relatives of these other forms, and newer systems move them to the Rosales. The order then becomes the Vitales.
