Tubiflorae

Tubiflorae is a botanical name, meaning “with tubular flowers”. It was used in the Engler system (and derived systems such as the Wettstein system) for:

  • an order in the
    APG II
    -system.
  • a subfamily in the family
    Liguliflorae
    ).

Note that these days the rules for botanical nomenclature, the

rank
above that of family, so that Tubiflorae is allowed as the name of an order, but not as that of a subfamily.
