The basal eudicots are a group of 13 related families of flowering plants in four orders: Buxales, Proteales, Ranunculales and Trochodendrales. [1] [a] Like the core eudicots (the rest of the eudicots), they have pollen grains with three colpi (grooves) or other derived structures, [4] and usually have flowers with four or five petals (sometimes multiples of four or five, sometimes reduced or ...
Basal eudicot is an informal name for a paraphyletic group. The core eudicots are a monophyletic group. [11] A 2010 study suggested the core eudicots can be divided into two clades, Gunnerales and a clade called Pentapetalae, comprising all the remaining core eudicots. [12] The Pentapetalae can be then divided into three clades: [citation needed]
In phylogenetic nomenclature, the Pentapetalae are a large group of eudicots that were informally referred to as the "core eudicots" in some papers on angiosperm phylogenetics. [2] They comprise an extremely large and diverse group accounting for about 65% of the species richness of the angiosperms , with wide variability in habit , morphology ...
Basellaceae is a family of flowering plants in the order Caryophyllales, in the clade core eudicots, according to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. The family comprises 19 known species of herbaceous plants in four genera: [2] Anredera – 12 species; Basella – 5 species; Tournonia – 1 species; Ullucus – 1 species
This category should contain only articles about the families of eudicots, when the articles are at the scientific name, or redirects from the scientific name in the case of monotypic taxa or articles at the English name.
The eudicots are the largest monophyletic group within the dicotyledons. They are distinguished from all other flowering plants by the structure of their pollen . Other dicotyledons and the monocotyledons have monosulcate pollen (or derived forms): grains with a single sulcus.
The Buxales are placed within the eudicots but outside the core eudicots, in a paraphyletic group of basal eudicots. The monophyly of the order and its general position relative to other eudicots has been confirmed by many studies. [2] One possible phylogenetic tree is shown below, where the precise ordering of the basal eudicots is still ...
The top level category for the Eudicots — a clade of angiosperms (flowering plants) in the APG IV system (2016).; Most entries should be put in one of the subcategories of the clade (orders, families, genera and species)., but a small number of articles relating to orders, families or genera too small to have their own categories are put directly here.
