1 Magnoliophyta - Angiosperms Survey of Angiosperms using APG system Amborella trichopoda Magnoliophyta - Angiosperms Survey of Angiosperms using APG system What is the APG classification? Basal angiosperms ANITA ( basal( families ) magnoliid complex monocots Eudicots or tricolpates (3 pored pollen) caryophyllids rosids asterids We will begin our survey of angiosperms by examining the basal angiosperms - those groups that are now shown to be the oldest diverging paraphyletic! These include all those shown here except the eudicots which are the bulk of dicots We will look at the monocots - a basal angiosperm group - at the end of the class What are basal angiosperms? Charles Bessey s s order Ranales are most of the dicot basal angiosperms and monocots Magnolia = primitive polypetaly hypogyny actinomorphic
