'''Gentianales''' is an [[order (biology)|order]] of [[flowering plant]]s, included within the [[asterid]] clade of [[eudicots]]. It comprises more than 16,000 species in about 1,138 genera in 5 families.<ref name=APGIII2009>{{Cite journal|author=Angiosperm Phylogeny Group|year=2009|title=An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG III|journal=Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society|volume=161|issue=2|pages=105–121|doi=10.1111/j.1095-8339.2009.00996.x}}</ref> More than 80% of the species in this order belong to the [[Rubiaceae]] family.

* Family [[Apocynaceae]] (424 genera)
 
* Family [[Gelsemiaceae]] (2 genera)
 
* Family [[Gentianaceae]] (87 genera)
 
* Family [[Loganiaceae]] (13 genera)
 
* Family [[Rubiaceae]] (611 genera)
 
 
 
===Phylogeny===
 
The following [[phylogenetic tree]] is based on [[molecular phylogenetic]] studies of [[DNA sequence]]s.<ref name=Backlund>{{Cite journal|vauthors=Backlund M, Oxelman B, Bremer B |year=2000|title=Phylogenetic relationships within the Gentianales based on NDHF and RBCL sequences, with particular reference to the Loganiaceae|journal=American Journal of Botany|volume=87|pages=1029–1043|doi=10.2307/2657003}}</ref>

==Uses==
 
Well-known members of Gentianales are [[Coffea|coffee]], [[Plumeria|frangipani]], ''[[Gardenia]]'', [[Gentiana|gentian]], [[Nerium oleander|oleander]], and [[Vinca|periwinkle]].
