Magnoliidae

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Magnoliidae is a botanical name of a subclass. The circumscription of the subclass will vary with the taxonomic system being used (there are many such systems). The only requirement is that it must include the family Magnoliaceae (Art 16 of the ICBN).

The Cronquist system used this name for one of six subclasses (within class Magnoliopsida = dicotyledons). In the original version of this system the circumscription was (1981):

In APG II, many of the plants involved are placed in the magnoliids.

In the Dahlgren and the Thorne systems the name Magnoliidae is used for the dicotyledons. This is also the case in some of the systems derived from the Cronquist system.

The internal taxonomy in the Dahlgren system:

  • subclass Magnoliidae [= dicotyledons]
    superorder Magnolianae
    superorder Nymphaeanae
    superorder Ranunculanae
    superorder Caryophyllanae
    superorder Polygonanae
    superorder Plumbaginanae
    superorder Malvanae
    superorder Violanae
    superorder Theanae
    superorder Primulanae
    superorder Rosanae
    superorder Proteanae
    superorder Myrtanae
    superorder Rutanae
    superorder Vitanae
    superorder Santalanae
    superorder Balanophoranae
    superorder Aralianae
    superorder Asteranae
    superorder Solananae
    superorder Ericanae
    superorder Cornanae
    superorder Loasanae
    superorder Lamianae

The internal taxonomy in the Thorne system (1992) (in the version of the system as depicted by Reveal):

  • subclass Magnoliidae [= dicotyledons ]
    superorder Magnolianae
    superorder Nymphaeanae
    superorder Rafflesianae
    superorder Caryophyllanae
    superorder Theanae
    superorder Celastranae
    superorder Malvanae
    superorder Violanae
    superorder Santalanae
    superorder Geranianae
    superorder Rutanae
    superorder Proteanae
    superorder Rosanae
    superorder Cornanae
    superorder Asteranae
    superorder Solananae
    superorder Loasanae
    superorder Myrtanae
    superorder Gentiananae

The APG and APG II systems do not use formal botanical names above the rank of order. That is, these systems do not use names such as Magnoliidae.
