The Cucurbitales are an order of flowering plants, included in the rosid group of dicotyledons. Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Dicotyledons, or "dicots", is a name for a group of Flowering plants whose Seed typically has two embryonic leaves or Cotyledons There Barthélemy Charles Joseph Baron Dumortier (born on April 3, 1797 in Tournai; died in 1878 was a Belgian Politician and For the game see 1829 (board game. Year 1829 ( MDCCCXXIX) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display Anisophylleaceae is a small family with four genera in the order Cucurbitales, according to the AGP II. Begoniaceae is a family of Flowering plants with about 1400 species occurring in the subtropics and tropics of both the New World and Old World. Begonia is a Genus in the Flowering plant family Begoniaceae. Coriaria is the sole genus in the family Coriariaceae. It includes about 30 species of Subshrubs Shrubs and small Trees with a Cucurbitaceae is a Plant family commonly known as Melons, gourds or cucurbits and includes crops like Cucumbers This article refers to the Dried fruit shell For the alternative country musical group of a similar name see The Gourds. Datiscaceae are a family of Dicotyledonous plants containing two species of the genus Datisca. The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group In the APG II system for the classification of the Angiosperms the name rosids refers to a Clade, meaning a Monophyletic group of plants Dicotyledons, or "dicots", is a name for a group of Flowering plants whose Seed typically has two embryonic leaves or Cotyledons There This order mostly belongs to tropical areas, with limited presence in subtropic and temperate regions. The order includes various shrubs and trees, together with many herbs and climbers. One of major characteristics of the Cucurbitales is the presence of unisexual flowers, mostly pentacyclic, with thick pointed petals (whenever present) (Matthews and Endress, 2004). The pollination is usually performed by insects, but wind pollination is also present (in Coriariaceae and Datiscaceae). See also Pollination syndrome Anemophily or wind pollination is a form of Pollination whereby Pollen is distributed by Wind Coriaria is the sole genus in the family Coriariaceae. It includes about 30 species of Subshrubs Shrubs and small Trees with a Datiscaceae are a family of Dicotyledonous plants containing two species of the genus Datisca.
The order consists of roughly 2300 species in seven families. The largest families are Begoniaceae with 1400 species and Cucurbitaceae with 825 species. Begoniaceae is a family of Flowering plants with about 1400 species occurring in the subtropics and tropics of both the New World and Old World. Cucurbitaceae is a Plant family commonly known as Melons, gourds or cucurbits and includes crops like Cucumbers
The large families of Cucurbitales include several economically important plants. Specifically, the Cucurbitaceae are responsible for some food species, such as squash, pumpkin (both from Cucurbita), watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris) and other melons, and cucumber (Cucumis). Squashes generally refer to four species of the genus Cucurbita native to the Mexico and Central America, also called marrows depending Pumpkin is a Gourd -like squash of the genus Cucurbita and the family Cucurbitaceae (which also includes gourds Cucurbita is a genus in the Gourd family Cucurbitaceae first cultivated in the Americas and now used in many parts of the world Watermelon ( Citrullus lanatus ( Thunb) Matsum & Nakai family Cucurbitaceae) refers to both Fruit and Plant of a vine-like (climber Melon is a term used for various members of the Cucurbitaceae family with fleshy fruit The cucumber ( Cucumis sativus) is a widely cultivated plant in the Gourd family Cucurbitaceae, which includes squash, and in the same Cucumis is a genus of twining, Tendril -bearing plants in the Cucurbitaceae family which includes the Cucumber, true The Begoniaceae are known for their horticultural species, of which there are over 130.
Classification
Under the Cronquist system, the first four families were placed in the order Violales, within the Dilleniidae, with the Tetramelaceae subsumed within the Datiscaceae. A system of plant taxonomy, the Cronquist system is a scheme for the classification of flowering plants (or Angiosperms) Violales is a Botanical name of an order of Flowering plants and takes its name from the included family Violaceae. The other families were distributed throughout various orders. The present classification is due to APG II (2003). The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, or APG, refers to two international groups of systematic botanists who came together to try to establish a consensus view of the
