Geraniaceae (geranium family) |
The Geraniales are a small order of flowering plants, included within the rosid subgroup of dicotyledons. Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Magnoliopsida is the Botanical name for a class of Flowering plants By definition the class will include the family Magnoliaceae, but its 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 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 Geraniaceae is a family of Flowering plants placed in the order Geraniales. Gardeners often use the name "geranium" to mean Pelargonium: see below. The Melianthaceae is a family of Flowering plants The APG II system includes them within the Rosid clade Vivianiaceae is a family of Flowering plants placed in the order Geraniales. 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 The largest family in the order is the Geraniaceae with over 800 species. Geraniaceae is a family of Flowering plants placed in the order Geraniales. In addition, the order includes some small families, contributing together another less than 40 species. Most Geraniales are herbaceous, but there are also shrubs and small trees.
The economic importance of Geraniales is low. Some species of the genus Pelargonium are cultivated for their aromatic oil used in the perfume industry. Some other species, also mostly Geraniaceae, have horticultural or medicinal uses.
Paleobotanic record is missing.
Classification
The families given at right are typical of newer classifications. In this definition, Hypseocharitaceae and Francoaceae with Greyiaceae are included within Geraniaceae and Melianthaceae respectively, but may also be treated separately. The Francoaceae are a small family of Plants including the Genus Francoa, commonly known as Bridal Wreaths The Melianthaceae is a family of Flowering plants The APG II system includes them within the Rosid clade Instead, the Ledocarpaceae may be included within the Vivianiaceae.
Under the Cronquist system, the Geraniales had a different composition, comprising the following families:
- Family Geraniaceae
- Family Oxalidaceae
- Family Limnanthaceae
- Family Tropaeolaceae
- Family Balsaminaceae
The Vivianiaceae and Ledocarpaceae were included within the Geraniaceae, and the Hypseocharitaceae within the Oxalidaceae, which are now treated in the order Oxalidales. A system of plant taxonomy, the Cronquist system is a scheme for the classification of flowering plants (or Angiosperms) Geraniaceae is a family of Flowering plants placed in the order Geraniales. The Oxalidaceae, or wood sorrel family is a small family of eight genera of Herbaceous Plants Shrubs and small Trees with the great majority Limnanthaceae is a family of plants in the order Brassicales. Balsaminaceae (commonly known as the Balsam family is a family of Dicotyledonous plants comprising two genera and 850+ Species The Oxalidales are an order of Flowering plants included within the Rosid subgroup of Dicotyledons The following families are typically The Melianthaceae were placed within the Sapindales, the Greyiaceae and Francoaceae within the Rosales, the latter subsumed within the Saxifragaceae. Sapindales (pronounced /sæpɪn'deɪliz/ last two syllables just like the word dailies ''Webster's Third New International Dictionary'' p For other meanings see Rosales (disambiguation. Rosales is an order of Flowering plants including nine families Saxifragaceae is a Plant family with about 460 known species in 36 genera.
