Families

Bruniaceae
Columelliaceae

Bruniales is a valid botanic name at the rank of order. Until recently it was not in use, but a 2008 study suggested that Bruniaceae and Columelliaceae are sister clades.[2] The latest revision of the APG system, APG III, places both families as the only members of the order Bruniales, which is sister to the Apiales, and one of the asterid taxa.[1]

The APG III phylogenetic tree for the asterids is:

asterids

Cornales

Ericales

euasterids 
lamiids 

Garryales

Boraginaceae

Gentianales

Solanales

Lamiales

campanulids 

Aquifoliales

Asterales

Escalloniales

Bruniales

Apiales

Paracryphiales

Dipsacales
