Urticales is an order of dicotyledonous plants. It includes such members as figs, cannabis, nettles, mulberry, hops, elms and banyan trees. They range from small and herbaceous plants to large trees.
Urticales has been believed to be closely related to other orders of dicots such as Hamamelidales, Juglandales, Leitneriales, Fagales, Casuarinales, Myricales and Daphniphyllales. It has been said to be in the same subclass as Dillenniales and Violales, and at times even Malvales or Euphorbiales because of the presence of catkins.
Members of the order Urticales bloom from late spring to early fall.
