magnoliidae

In their systems, the name Magnoliidae is used for a much larger group including all dicotyledons.

The following diagram shows a likely phylogenic relationship between the Magnoliidae superorders.

Traditionally, Magnoliidae is the botanical name of a subclass.

The relationships of Butomus to the Magnoliidae are discussed.

The Magnoliidae subclass contains the following orders, listed by superorder:

This clade was formally named Magnoliidae in 2007 under provisions of the PhyloCode.

In the Dahlgren and the Thorne systems the name Magnoliidae is used for the dicotyledons.

However, a formal classification was published alongside the 2009 revision in which the flowering plants form the Subclass Magnoliidae.

Coriariaceae was placed in Ranunculaceae, subclass Magnoliidae.

Cronquist (1968-1981), one of the more influential twentieth century classifications had eight families and placed the Ranunculales in the larger Magnoliidae.

Subclass Magnoliidae (mostly basal dicots)

The ontogenesis of reproductive cells has been cytologically analysed in Nymphaea heudelotii Planch., family Nymphaea-ceae, subclass Magnoliidae.

Magnoliids (or Magnoliidae) are a group of about 9,000 species of flowering plants, including magnolias, nutmeg, bay laurel, cinnamon, avocado, black pepper, tulip tree and many others.

For example, the composition of Cronquist's subclass Magnoliidae is nearly the same as Thorne's (1992) superorder Magnolianae, despite the difference in taxonomic rank.

Earlier Cronquist in 1981 included the Ranunculaceae along with seven other families in the Rancunculales which was included in the Magnoliidae, which he regarded as a subclass.

The result was that all land plants were placed in the class Equisitopsida, which was then divided into 16 subclasses (including the Magnoliidae, containing all flowering plants) and a multitude of superorders.

In the Cronquist system, the Papaveraceae and Fumariaceae (including the plants in the optional family Pteridophyllaceae) were treated as a separate order Papaverales, placed in this same subclass Magnoliidae.

The classification and geography of the flowering plants: dicotyledons of the class Angiospermae (subclasses Magnoliidae, Ranunculidae, Caryophyllidae, Dilleniidae, Rosidae, Asteridae, and Lamiidae).

Thorne revised his system in 2000, restricting the name Magnoliidae to include only the Magnolianae, Nymphaeanae, and Rafflesianae, and removing the Berberidales and other previously included groups to his subclass Ranunculidae.

Sirdavidia is distinguished from other Annonaceae by its floral morphology, which is indicative of buzz pollination, a phenomenon that has never been observed in Annonaceae or Magnoliidae but is common amongst Solanaceae.

In the 1989 revision, the alternate names Magnoliidae and Liliidae were dropped in favour of Dicotyledon and Monocotyledon, and the suffix -florae was replaced with -anae (e.g. Alismatanae for Alismatiflorae) .

Two authors may apply the same name to groups with different composition of members; for example, Dahlgren's Magnoliidae includes all dicots, whereas Cronquists' Magnoliidae is only one of five dicot groups.

The Cronquist system, of 1981, recognized Illiciales as an order consisting of the families Illiciaceae and Schisandraceae and placed it in the subclass Magnoliidae, in class Magnoliopsida (or dicotyledons) of division Magnoliophyta (or angiosperms).
