An order of flowering plants that includes families like Aristolochiaceae, containing woody vines and herbs often with unusual curved flowers.
Named after the genus Aristolochia, from Greek 'aristos' meaning 'best' and 'locheia' meaning 'childbirth,' as these plants were historically used in childbirth remedies.
Aristolochiales include some of the most bizarre flowers in the plant world—they produce heat and weird smells to trick flies into pollinating them!
