Abstract
Nineteenth century botanists, such as Bentham (in Bentham and Hooker 1862) and Engler (e.g., 1931), tended to treat Sapindales and Rutales (the latter sometimes as Geraniales) as distinct orders, a concept followed by Takhtajan (2009) to the present day; however, a wider ordinal concept with Rutales included in Sapindales, as Terebinthales (Wettstein 1901) or Sapindales (Cronquist 1968), is now broadly supported and accepted.
