*"Platanus "Platanaceae is a family of
flowering plants . It has been recognized by almost all taxonomists, and is sometimes called the "plane-tree family".The family consists of only a single genus "
Platanus ", of six to ten species of tall trees, native to temperate and subtropical regions of theNorthern Hemisphere . The hybridLondon plane is widely planted in cities worldwide.The
APG II system of 2003 allows the option of including it in the familyProteaceae , or treating it as distinct as a segregate family. In as far as APG II accepts the family it is placed in the orderProteales , in the cladeeudicots . This represents a slight change from theAPG system , of 1998, which did accept this family.The
Cronquist system of 1981 recognized the family and placed it in orderHamamelidales , in subclassHamamelidae [sic] in classMagnoliopsida (dicotyledons).The
Dahlgren system andThorne system (1992) also recognized this family and placed it in the orderHamamelidales in superorderRosanae in subclassMagnoliidae (dicotyledons).The
Engler system , in its 1964 update, also recognized the family and placed it in the orderRosales in subclassArchychlamydeae of classDicotyledoneae .The
Wettstein system , last revised in 1935, also recognized the family and placed it in the orderHamamelidales in theMonochlamideae in subclassChoripetalae of the classDicotyledones .External links
