Flagellaria is the sole genus in the flowering plant family Flagellariaceae with only five species. The family is accepted by the APG II system of 2003 (and unchanged from the APG system, 1998); it is assigned to the order Poales in the clade commelinids, in the monocots.

Mayaca is a genus of flowering plants, often placed in its own family, the Mayacaceae (or Mayaceae in earlier systems). In the APG II system of 2003, it is assigned to the order Poales in the clade commelinids. The Cronquist system, of 1981, also recognised such a family and placed it in the order Commelinales in the subclass Commelinidae.

The Joinvilleaceae are a family of flowering plants with a single genus including four species. The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, 1998) assigns it to the order Poales in the clade commelinids in the monocots. The family consists of one genus with four currently accepted species, distributed from the Malay Peninsula to the Caroline Islands and high islands in the Pacific Ocean. It is evolutionarily significant as a relictual group closely related to grasses. They closely resemble large grass plants, in both general appearance and microanatomy, but possess fleshy fruits.

Georgeantha is a monotypic genus of herbaceous, rhizomatous plant endemic to Western Australia. The sole species is Georgeantha hexandra. The genus is named after Western Australian botanist Alex George, and the specific epithet, "hexandra", is said to refer to the six (Greek, hexa) stamens (, male). The proper word for "six" in ancient Greek is however hex (ἕξ). No words in ancient Greek can be found on , however words on (-ανδρος) are attested, such as (μίσανδρος, hating men) and (πολύανδρος, full of men, populous) with (ἀνήρ) as proper word for man.
