Order Commelinales

The Commelinales is an order of monocotyledenous flowering herbs and climbers including the Commelinaceae (Spiderwort Family) in which succulence is a common feature, especially in the genus Tradescantia.
 
Flowers are well differentiated into sepals and petals and do not produce nectar. The superior ovary develops into a capsular fruit.
