The APG IV system of flowering plant classification is the fourth version of a modern, mostly molecular-based, system of plant taxonomy for flowering plants (angiosperms) being developed by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG).
Evolution of the angiosperms according to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (2013). The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) is an informal international group of systematic botanists who collaborate to establish a consensus on the taxonomy of flowering plants (angiosperms) that reflects new knowledge about plant relationships discovered through phylogenetic studies.
The superrosids are members of a large clade (monophyletic group) of flowering plants, containing more than 88,000 species, [2] and thus more than a quarter of all angiosperms. [3] The clade is divided into 18 orders as defined in APG IV system. These orders, in turn, together comprise about 155 families. [1]
The superasterids are members of a large clade (monophyletic group) of flowering plants, containing more than 122,000 species. [citation needed] The clade is divided into 20 orders as defined in APG IV system. These orders, in turn, together comprise about 146 families. [1]
The APG system (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system) of plant classification is the first version of a modern, mostly molecular-based, system of plant taxonomy.Published in 1998 by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, it was replaced by the improved APG II in 2003, APG III system in 2009 and APG IV system in 2016.
The commelinids are the only clade that the APG IV system has informally named within the monocots. The remaining monocots are a paraphyletic unit. Also known as the commelinid monocots it forms one of three groupings within the monocots, and the final branch; the other two groups are the alismatid monocots and the lilioid monocots .
The Lamiales (also known as the mint order) are an order of flowering plants in the asterids clade of the Eudicots. [4] Under the APG IV system of flowering plant classification the order consists of 24 families, [4] and includes about 23,810 species and 1,059 genera [5] with representatives found all over the world.

Asphodelaceae is a family of flowering plants in the order Asparagales. [2] Such a family has been recognized by most taxonomists, but the circumscription has varied widely. In its current circumscription in the APG IV system, it includes about 40 genera and 900 known species. [3]
