Austrobaileyaceae is the botanical name of a family of flowering plants. This family is recognised by most plant taxonomists.
The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998), does recognise such a family and places it in order Austrobaileyales. This order is accepted as being among the most basic lineages in the clade angiosperms. The family consists of a single genus only, Austrobaileya, totalling two species, of Queensland, Australia.
Other systems
The Cronquist system, of 1981, assigned the family to the order Magnoliales, in subclass Magnoliidae, in class Magnoliopsida [=dicotyledons] of division Magnoliophyta [=angiosperms].
The Thorne system (1992) placed it in the order Magnoliales, which was assigned to superorder Magnolianae, in subclass Magnoliideae [=dicotyledons], in class Magnoliopsida [=angiosperms].
The Dahlgren system assigned it to the order Annonales, which was placed in superorder Magnolianae, in subclass Magnoliideae [=dicotyledons], in class Magnoliopsida [=angiosperms].
The Engler system, in its update of 1964, assigned it to the order Magnoliales, which was placed in subclass Archychlamydeae in class Dicotyledoneae and in subdivision Angiospermae
