The '''Garryales''' are a small [[order (biology)|order]] of [[dicotyledon]]s, including only two families and three genera.
 
 
 
==Description==
 
Garryales are [[woody plant]]s that are either hairless or have very fine hairs.  Members of the Garryaceae family are [[evergreen]], whereas those of  the Eucommiaceae are [[deciduous]] and produce [[latex]].{{sfn|Stevens|2003|pp=1}}
 
 
 
==Taxonomy==
 
These belong among the [[asterid]]s. Under the [[Cronquist system]], the Garryaceae were placed among the [[Cornales]].{{sfn|Stevens|2003|pp=1}} The Eucommiaceae were given their own order and placed among the [[Hamamelidae]]. The [[Oncothecaceae]] family has been associated with Garryales, though the link is not strong enough to prove they are related.<ref name=Families_and_genera>{{cite web|url=http://www.mobot.org/mobot/research/apweb/top/summaryapg2new.htm#Garryales|title=GARRYALES Lindley|publisher=[[Missouri Botanical Garden]]|accessdate=23 August 2012}}</ref>
 
 
 
===Subdivisions===
 
The order is made up of two families which, between them, contain three genera. These are:<ref name=Families_and_genera />
 
* Family [[Garryaceae]]
 
**''[[Garrya]]''
 
**''[[Aucuba]]''
 
* Family [[Eucommiaceae]]
 
**''[[Eucommia]]''
 
 
 
==Distribution==
 
Species in the order are spread between North America and Asia. The various ''Garrya'' species are found in North America, in southern and western coastal regions of the United States.<ref name=Garrya>{{cite web|url=http://plants.usda.gov/java/nameSearch?keywordquery=Garrya&mode=Scientific%20Name&sort=1|title=Results for Scientific Name = Garrya |publisher=[[United States Department of Agriculture]]|accessdate=23 August 2012}}</ref> ''Aucuba'' species are found across eastern parts of Asia, while ''Eucommia'' species are within China.{{sfn|Stevens|2003|pp=2}}
 
 
 
==Uses==
 
Plants within the Garryales may be cultivated for ornamental purposes;{{sfn|Stevens|2003|pp=1}} ''[[Aucuba japonica]]'' is grown as a decorative hedge.<ref name=AucubaJaponica>{{cite web|url=http://www.pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Aucuba+japonica|title=Aucuba japonica - Thunb.|publisher=Plants for a future|accessdate=23 August 2012}}</ref>
