The Zingiberales are an order of flowering plants that includes many familiar plants like ginger, cardamom, turmeric, myoga, and also banana and arrowroot.

The APG II system of 2003 places this order in the commelinids, which in its turn is part of the monocots, and treats it as having eight families:

• Zingiberaceae (ginger family)
• Cannaceae
• Costaceae
• Heliconiaceae
• Lowiaceae
• Marantaceae
• Musaceae (banana family)
• Strelitziaceae

Cronquist system

In the Cronquist system of 1981 the order consists of the same eight families, but the order is treated as belonging to the subclass Zingiberidae, which in its turn belongs to the class Liliopsida. This subclass also includes the order Bromeliales, consisting (there) of a single family Bromeliaceae, a family that APG II places in the order Poales.
