Proteales is an order of flowering plants consisting of three (or four) families. The Proteales have been recognized by almost all taxonomists. The representatives of the Proteales can be very different from each other due to their very early divergence. They possess seeds with little or no endosperm. The ovules are often atropic. [clarify]

Proteales, the protea order of eudicotyledonous flowering plants, with 4 families, about 85 genera, and nearly 1,750 species. The largest family is Proteaceae, confined predominantly to the Southern Hemisphere.

The Proteaceae / ˌproʊtiˈeɪsiː / form a family of flowering plants predominantly distributed in the Southern Hemisphere. The family comprises 83 genera with about 1,660 known species. [3] . Australia and South Africa have the greatest concentrations of diversity.

PROTEALES. The Proteales contain four very different families, classified together only rather recently. All but the Sabiaceae are similar in having mostly 1 ovule per ovary. The Nelumbonaceae and Platanaceae are similar in having apical placentation.

Proteales is a part of peripheral eudicots classified together only recently. The Proteales flowers are small or large and unisexual or bisexual. The American lotus, the Indian lotus, the London plane tree, Wagon tree and large-nut sugar bush are examples of Proteales.

Proteales is the botanical name of an order of flowering plants. Such an order has been recognized by almost all taxonomists.

These families are close relatives to Proteales. Including them in Proteales will make Proteales paraphyletic. But that is seen in the same way as Gymnospermae : a group from where new evolution as arisen.
