There are eighteen families in Saxifragales, Vitales and Zygophyllales, three orders of flowering plants. Along with the COM clade, the nitrogen-fixing clade and the malvids, they constitute the superrosids, a group of around 150 related families, including the rose family. The order Saxifragales includes fruit-bearing shrubs, woody vines, succulents, aquatics, and many ornamental trees and garden plants, including stonecrops, currants and witch-hazels. Peonies are bred by horticulturists and widely cultivated in temperate gardens. Cercidiphyllum japonicum (tree pictured), the largest tree species native to Japan, is used to make boards for the game of Go. Vitales and Zygophyllales include trees, shrubs, vines and herbaceous plants. (Full list...)
