Order is a taxonomic rank fitting between class and family.
The Ericales are a large and diverse order of dicotyledons, including for example blueberry. The order includes trees and bushes, lianas and herbaceous plants. Together with ordinary autophytic plants, the Ericales include chlorophyll-deficient myco-heterotrophic plants (e. g. Sarcodes sanguinea) and carnivorous plants (e. g. genus Sarracenia).
