The Myrtales are an order of flowering plants placed as a basal group within the rosid group of dicotyledons (not a member of eurosids I or eurosids II). 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 Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach ( Leipzig, January 3 1823 - Hamburg, May 6 1889) was an Ornithologist, 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 following families are typical of newer classifications:
- Family Alzateaceae
- Family Combretaceae (leadwood family)
- Family Crypteroniaceae
- Family Heteropyxidaceae
- Family Lythraceae (loosestrife and pomegranate family)
- Family Melastomataceae
- Family Memecylaceae
- Family Myrtaceae (myrtle family)
- Family Oliniaceae
- Family Onagraceae (evening primrose family)
- Family Penaeaceae
- Family Psiloxylaceae
- Family Rhynchocalycaceae
- Family Vochysiaceae
The Cronquist system gives essentially the same composition, except the Vochysiaceae are removed to the order Polygalales, and the Thymelaeaceae are included. Alzatea verticillata is a small flowering Tree, native to the Neotropics. Combretaceae is a family of Flowering plants The family includes about 600 species of Trees Shrubs and Lianas in 20 genera The Semi-deciduous Leadwood tree ( Combretum imberbe Wawra is found from KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa in the south to Tanzania Crypteroniaceae is a family of flowering Trees and Shrubs The family includes about 10 species in 3 genera, native to Indomalaya Heteropyxis is a genus which includes three species of small evergreen Trees It was previously placed along in family Heteropyxidaceae, but is now Lythraceae is a family of Flowering plants It includes 500-600 Species of mostly Herbs with some Shrubs and Trees in The pomegranate ( Punica granatum) is a Fruit -bearing Deciduous Shrub or small Tree growing to between five and eight metres tall The family Melastomataceae (alternatively Melastomaceae) is a taxon of dicotyledonous Flowering plants found mostly in the tropics (two thirds Memecylaceae is a family of Flowering plants The family includes about 430 species of Trees and Shrubs in seven genera. The Myrtaceae or Myrtle family are a family of Dicotyledon Plants placed within the order Myrtales. The Myrtle ( Myrtus) is a genus of one or two species of Flowering plants in the family Myrtaceae, native to southern Europe and north Olinia is a Genus of small trees and shrubs with ten species the sole genus in family Oliniaceae The Onagraceae, also known as the Willowherb family or Evening Primose family, is a family of Flowering plants The family includes about Evening Primrose is a musical with a book by James Goldman and lyrics and music by Stephen Sondheim. Penaeaceae is a family of Evergreen, leathery-leaved shrubs and small trees native to South Africa. Psiloxylon mauritianum is species of Flowering plant, the sole species of family Psiloxylaceae. Rhynchocalyx lawsonioides is a small flowering Tree, the sole species of family Rhynchocalycaceae. Vochysiaceae is a family of Evergreen Flowering plants including trees and Shrubs The family consists of about 200 species in eight genera Fuchsia is a Genus of flowering Plants mostly Shrubs and can grow long shoots which were identified by Charles Plumier in the late-17th The Onagraceae, also known as the Willowherb family or Evening Primose family, is a family of Flowering plants The family includes about A system of plant taxonomy, the Cronquist system is a scheme for the classification of flowering plants (or Angiosperms) The Polygalaceae ( syn Diclidantheraceae Moutabeaceae Xanthophyllaceaeor Milkwort family is a family of Flowering plants in the order Thymelaeaceae is a family of Flowering plants with about 700-750 species in 50 genera The families Sonneratiaceae, Trapaceae, and Punicaceae are removed from the Lythraceae, while the Psioxylaceae and Heteropyxidaceae are treated within the Myrtaceae, and the Memecyclaceae within the Melastomataceae. Sonneratiaceae was a family of Flowering plants placed in the order Myrtales by the Cronquist system. The water caltrop or water chestnut is either of two Species of the Genus Trapa -- Trapa natans and Trapa bicornis. Punica is a small genus of Fruit -bearing Deciduous Shrub or small Trees Its better-known species is the Pomegranate
