In plant taxonomy, commelinids (originally commelinoids) is a clade of within the monocots, distinguished by having cell walls containing ferulic acid. Well-known commelinids include Arecaceae and relatives (order Arecales), Commelina, Tradescantia, , and water hyacinth (order Commelinales), Poaceae, bromeliads, Juncaceae, and Cyperaceae (order Poales), ginger, cardamom, turmeric, galangal, , plantains, and bird of paradise flower (order Zingiberales).
The commelinids are the only clade that the APG IV system has informally named within the monocots. The remaining monocots are a Paraphyly unit. Also known as the commelinid monocots it forms one of three groupings within the monocots, and the final branch; the other two groups are the alismatid monocots and the lilioid monocots.
