Hamamelidales

The Hamemelidales are an order of dicotyledons in the Cronquist system, including the following families:

Family Hamamelidaceae (witch-hazel family)
Family Cercidiphyllaceae (katsura tree)
Family Eupteleaceae
Family Platanaceae (plane trees)
Family Myrothamnaceae (resurrection bush)

These served as the prototype for the subclass Hamamelidae. In newer classifications, these families are scattered among various other orders of dicots, most notably the Saxifragales, but with the Platanaceae transferred to the Proteales.
