magnoliales

He viewed them as being derived from the Magnoliales.

They are a basal group of dicots, related to, and formerly sometimes included in, the Magnoliales.

They are magnoliids, related to the Magnoliales.

The Magnoliales includes six families:

The Magnoliaceae, or Magnolia Family, is a flowering plant family in the order Magnoliales.

In these systems, published by the APG, the Magnoliales are a basal group, excluded from the eudicots.

G. Buchheim in Proteales, Cactales, Magnoliales and Ranunculales.

The order has been recognised by relatively few taxonomists, with the plant families of the order being variably placed in other orders (Magnoliales, Austrobaileyales) in different taxonomies.

More recently, the group has been redefined under the PhyloCode as a node-based clade comprising the Canellales, Laurales, Magnoliales, and Piperales.

This may confirm the hypothesis that morphological traits shared with other Magnoliales species (such as 2-ranked phyllotaxis, monosulcate pollen, and laminate stamens) represent ancestral characters, while derived characters observed in other genera have evolved independently multiple times.

The Winteraceae, of the order Magnoliales, considered the oldest group of angiosperms, is represented by the type Zygogynum with 18 species of an order with fifty genera ranging over the Moluccas islands to northern Australia.

Thorne grouped most of his Magnolianae into two large orders, Magnoliales and Berberidales, although his Magnoliales was divided into suborders along lines similar to the ordinal groupings used by both Cronquist and Dahlgren.
