APG system In the APG II system, of 2003, this order is placed in the clade magnoliids This is an expansion from the APG system, of 1998, which used the same placement (in the magnoliids) but used this circumscription: * order Piperales family Aristolochiaceae Lactoridaceae is now no longer maintained; its sole genus Lactoris is placed in Aristolochiaceae. Earlier systems The Cronquist system, of 1981, placed the order in the subclass Magnoliidae of class Magnoliopsida [=dicotyledons] and used this circumscription: * order Piperales family Chloranthaceae The Engler system, in its update of 1964, placed the order in subclassis Archichlamydeae in class Dicotyledoneae [=dicotyledons] and used this circumscription: * order Piperales family Chloranthaceae The Wettstein system, latest version published in 1935, assigned the order to the Monochlamydeae in subclass Choripetalae of class Dicotyledones. It used the circumscription: * order Piperales family Piperaceae
