(Type species)]] Burmanniales Mart. (Burmanniales Blume, Burmanniales ) was an order of , subsequently discontinued.


Description
Small or that are (lacking ) and or less often .


Systematics and taxonomy
Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius listed the ordo (that is, family) in 1835 and consequently has been cited as an authority, although he acknowledged earlier descriptions by Carl Ludwig Blume (1827) and (1830).

In 1927 Heintze elevated the Burmanniaceae family to the rank of the Burmanniales order. Subsequent authors have followed this, including Lawrence 1951, Hutchinson 1973, 1980) and Thorne 1992. Johri et al. treat the 17 families of order as distributed over 5 , including Burmanniineae . The latter suborder was then considered to contain two families, Burmanniaceae and . As circumscribed by ( Dahlgren) it was one of five orders belonging to the and was composed of three families, Burmanniaceae (the type family), , and Corsiaceae. Later, Burmanniales was included by in the 2009 revision of with the same family structure, as an order of superorder (as the Liliiflorae were renamed).


Phylogeny
Historically the Burmanniales were considered the closest to the , being with small seeds, although this was not supported when subjected to analysis, suggesting these characteristics were actually convergent. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Burmanniales was actually , resulting in a redistribution of the families between the and orders. With the type family Burmanniaceae placed in Dioscoreales (together with Thismiaceae), the Burmanniales order became redundant and was discontinued.


Etymology
The name is derived by from the Burmannia, named after the Dutch botanist (1707–1779), followed by the -iales, to indicate the rank of order.
