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