This article lists the living orders of the Viridiplantae, based primarily on the work of Ruggiero et al. 2015. Living orders of Lycophytes and ferns are taken from Christenhusz et al. 2011b and Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group. Living orders of Gymnosperms are added from Christenhusz et al. 2011a while extinct orders are from Anderson, Anderson & Cleal 2007. For the version sorted in alphabetical order, see List of plant orders by name.
