Flower of Liriodendron tulipifera, a Mesangiosperm. Mesangiospermae is a clade that contains the majority of flowering plants (angiosperms). Mesangiosperms are therefore known as the core angiosperms, in contrast to the three orders of earlier-diverging species known as the basal angiosperms: Nymphaeales (including water lilies), Austrobaileyales (including star anise), and Amborellales.
Research undertaken in the late 1970s and early 1980s documented 5067 species of which 5041 were angiosperms and the remaining 26 species were gymnosperms. [1] The Terai area has hardwood, bamboo, palm, and sal trees. [2] Notable plants include the garden angelica, Luculia gratissima, Meconopsis villosa, and Persicaria affinis.
The fossil history of flowering plants records the development of flowers and other distinctive structures of the angiosperms, now the dominant group of plants on land.The history is controversial as flowering plants appear in great diversity in the Cretaceous, with scanty and debatable records before that, creating a puzzle for evolutionary biologists that Charles Darwin named an "abominable ...

Nymphaea alba, from the Nymphaeales. The basal angiosperms are the flowering plants which diverged from the lineage leading to most flowering plants. In particular, the most basal angiosperms were called the ANITA grade, which is made up of Amborella (a single species of shrub from New Caledonia), Nymphaeales (water lilies, together with some other aquatic plants) and Austrobaileyales (woody ...
Asclepias tuberosa, commonly known as butterfly weed, is a species of milkweed native to eastern and southwestern North America. [2] It is commonly known as butterfly weed because of the butterflies that are attracted to the plant by its color and its copious production of nectar .
It is a larval host for the long-tailed skipper and Reakirt's blue butterflies. Mesquite flour is high in protein, low in carbohydrates, and can be used in recipes as a gluten-free substitute for wheat flour. Within its native range, its wood smoke is used to flavor meats when cooked over a mesquite fire. This is particularly popular in Texas ...
Australia has over 21,077 described species of vascular plants, [19] these include the angiosperms, seed-bearing non-angiosperms (like the conifers and cycads), and the spore-bearing ferns and fern allies. [20] Of these about 11% are naturalised species; the remainder are native or endemic. [21]
