Meaning
Comprising seed plants that produce an embryo with paired cotyledons and net-veined leaves; divided into six (not always well distinguished) subclasses (or superorders): Magnoliidae and Hamamelidae (considered primitive); Caryophyllidae (an early and distinctive offshoot); and three more or less advanced groups: Dilleniidae; Rosidae; Asteridae.
Classification
Nouns denoting plants.
Examples
- The most common representatives of class Magnoliopsida include roses, daisies, and orchids, with diverse flowers often used in gardens and floral arrangements.
- Research on the molecular relationships between subclass Rosidae and other subclasses within class Magnoliopsida shows significant diversity in their evolutionary paths.
- In a bid to reorganize the classification within the class Magnoliopsida, botanists have alternatively cited the subclasses under different taxonomic norms.
- Plants belonging to class Magnoliopsida that dominate landscapes are roses, daisies, orchids, and more importantly, orchidales like tea, mangoes, and orchids.
- Subclass Asteridae from class Magnoliopsida is commonly viewed as providing nutrition and food benefits in orchids, thistle, cotton, and mint related plants
