The Austrobaileyales are an order of basal flowering plants comprising the following families:

  • Family Austrobaileyaceae
  • Family Trimeniaceae
  • Family Illiciaceae (star anise)
  • Family Schisandraceae (schisandra, kadsura)

This essentially corresponds to the order Illiciales in the older Cronquist system, which only included the last two families.
