Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (/ ˌ æ n dʒ i ə ˈ s p ər m iː /). [5] [6] The term 'angiosperm' is derived from the Greek words ἀγγεῖον / angeion ('container, vessel') and σπέρμα / sperma ('seed'), meaning that the seeds are enclosed within a fruit.
This is the top level category for the angiosperms (flowering plants) and their subdivisions (clades, orders, families, genera and species).; Most entries should be put in one of the subcategories, but a small number of articles relating to clades, orders, families or genera too small to have their own categories are put directly here.
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 ...
Psychotria is the third largest flowering plant genus, with more than 1,900 species, including Psychotria mariniana. Euphorbia is the fourth largest flowering plant genus, with more than 1,800 species, including Euphorbia amygdaloides. Carex is the fifth largest flowering plant genus, with more than 1,700 species, including Carex pilulifera.
This should be an exhaustive list of the APG IV orders. (Sabiales is no longer recognised as an order but in now placed as a family within the order Proteales.) The subcategory Category:Historically recognized angiosperm orders lists articles about orders no longer recognized in the APG III or APG IV system. There should not be any other ...
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.
This article lists the living orders of the Viridiplantae, based primarily on the work of Ruggiero et al. 2015. [1] Living order of Lycophytes and ferns are taken from Christenhusz et al. 2011b [2] and Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group. [3]
Dicotyledon plantlet Young castor oil plant showing its prominent two embryonic leaves (), which differ from the adult leaves. The dicotyledons, also known as dicots (or, more rarely, dicotyls), [2] are one of the two groups into which all the flowering plants (angiosperms) were formerly divided.
