Acoraceae is the botanical name for a family of flowering plants. Such a family has been recognized by relatively few taxonomists: it is sometimes called the "sweet-flag family".
The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, 1998), does recognize this family, and gives it its own order Acorales, in the clade monocots. The family counts a single genus, Acorus with only a few species in all, perhaps no more than two.
This is a departure from the Cronquist system which had assigned the genus to the family Araceae, in order Arales, in subclass Arecidae, in class Liliopsida .
