Bruniales
Bruniales is an order of flowering plants, included in the asterid group of eudicots. Under the APG IV system of flowering plant classification the order consists of two families: Bruniaceae, which are shrubs native to South Africa, and Columelliaceae, which are trees and shrubs native to Central and South America.
Bruniales was not recognized as an order until 2008 when a study suggested that Bruniaceae and Columelliaceae were sister clades. In 2009, the APG III system placed both families as the only members of the order Bruniales, which is a sister order to the Apiales. Before this, both families were placed in the Lamiales.
The APG III phylogenetic tree for the asterids is:
