Magnoliophyta - Angiosperms Basal Angiosperms Survey of Angiosperms — using APG system We will begin our survey of angiosperms by examining the ‘basal angiosperms’-those groups ‘Basal angiosperms’ that are now shown to be the first •ANA (‘basal families’) diverging–paraphyletic! • magnoliid complex These include all those shown • monocots here exceptthe eudicotswhich Eudicots or tricolpates (3 pored pollen) are the bulk of dicots • ranunculids We will look at the monocots-a • caryophyllids ‘basal angiosperm group’ -at the • rosids end of the semester • asterids Basal Angiosperms Basal Angiosperms What are basal angiosperms?
