在其他分类方法中,可能包括不同的目,但都会包括石竹目。APG II 分类法中没有亚纲一级的分类,这些植物一般都被包括在扩展后的石竹目中,直接放到核心真双子叶植物分支之下。

Caryophyllidae 石竹亚纲
Caryophyllidae is a botanical name at the rank of subclass. At the moment there is no complete consensus about what orders it includes, except that it presumably contains the order Caryophyllales. Note that this is only a naming difficulty: what to call various taxa of plants; there is little debate about how the plants in question are related.
