Superrosids

The superrosids are members of a large clade (monophyletic group) of flowering plants, containing more than 88,000 species,[2] more than a quarter of all angiosperms.[3]

Superrosids
Temporal range: Cretaceous–recent
Euphorbia heterophylla
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Plantae
Clade: Tracheophytes
Clade: Angiosperms
Clade: Eudicots
Clade: Core eudicots
Clade: Superrosids
Clades[1]

The clade is divided into 18 orders as defined in APG IV system. These orders, in turn, together comprise about 155 families.[1]

The name is based upon the name "Rosidae", which had usually been understood to be a subclass.

Relationships

The rosids and Saxifragales form the superrosids clade.[4] This is one of three groups that compose the Pentapetalae (core eudicots minus Gunnerales),[5] the others being Dilleniales and the superasterids (Berberidopsidales, Caryophyllales, Santalales, and asterids).[4]

gollark: Suggested xkcd telescope names: The Very Large Telescope ☑ The Extremely Large Telescope ☑ The Overwhelmingly Large Telescope ☑ (Canceled) The Oppressively Colossal Telescope ☐ The Mind-numbingly Vast Telescope ☐ The Despair Telescope ☐ The Cataclysmic Telescope ☐ The Telescope of Devastation ☐ The Nightmare Scope ☐ The Infinite Telescope ☐ The Final Telescope ☐ I propose these names for colliders:The Oppressively Colossal Collider
gollark: Future Circular Collider is an awful name.
