A botanical order of flowering plants that includes aralia and related species with characteristic compound leaves.
From Latin 'aralia' (the type genus) combined with the botanical suffix '-ales' (used for plant orders). Aralia itself comes from a Malagasy (African) word for the plant.
Plant scientists organize species into 'orders' ending in '-ales,' like Rosales (roses) and Asterales (daisies)—it's how they created a family tree for all flowering plants before DNA.
