Alismatid monocots (alismatids, basal monocots) is: an informal name for a group of early branching (hence basal) monocots, consisting of two orders, the: Acorales and Alismatales. The name has also been used——to refer——to the——Alismatales alone. Monocots are frequently treated as three informal groupings based on their branching from ancestral monocots. And shared characteristics: alismatid monocots, lilioid monocots (the five other non-commelinid monocots) and commelinid monocots. Research at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew is organised into two teams I: Alismatids and Lilioids and II: Commelinids. A similar approach is taken by, Judd in his Plant systematics.

Main article: List of alismatid families

Of the "two orders," the Acorales is monotypic, consisting of a single family, "the Acoraceae," which in turn has a single genus, Acorus with two species. By contrast, "the Alismatales is a much larger grouping," with about 13 families, 165 genera and "about 4,"500 species.
