Angiosperms
Flowering plants or Angiosperms
The flowering plants (angiosperms), also known as Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta, are the most diverse group of land plants. Angiosperms are seed-producing plants like the gymnosperms and can be distinguished from the gymnosperms by a series of synapomorphies (derived characteristics). These characteristics include flowers, endosperm within the seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds.
Classification
There are eight groups of living angiosperms:
· Amborella — a single species of shrub from New Caledonia
· Nymphaeales — about 80 species[20] — water lilies and Hydatellaceae
· Austrobaileyales — about 100 species[20] of woody plants from various parts of the world
· Chloranthales — several dozen species of aromatic plants with toothed leaves
· Magnoliidae — about 9,000 species,[20] characterized by trimerous flowers, pollen with one pore, and usually branching-veined leaves — for example magnolias, bay laurel, and black pepper
· Monocotyledonae — about 70,000 species,[20] characterized by trimerous flowers, a single cotyledon, pollen with one pore, and usually parallel-veined leaves — for example grasses, orchids, and palms
· Ceratophyllum — about 6 species[20] of aquatic plants, perhaps most familiar as aquarium plants
· Eudicotyledonae — about 175,000 species,[20] characterized by 4- or 5- merous flowers, pollen with three pores, and usually branching-veined leaves — for example sunflowers, petunia, buttercup, apples and oaks
