- The asterids (Asteridae), with ∼100,000 species, include nearly one quarter of the extant angiosperm species and are thus the largest subgroup in eudicots. The bulk of the species belongs to the former subclass Asteridae and includes many economically important crops (Magallón and Castillo 2009).

In the APG IV system (2016) for the classification of flowering plants, the name asterids denotes a clade (a monophyletic group). Asterids is the largest group of flowering plants, with more than 80,000 species, about a third of the total flowering plant species.
Oct 16, 2013 · Asteridae were generally considered to be the ‘most derived’ or ‘most advanced’ subclass of angiosperms (e.g. Cronquist, 1981) and were thought to be of relative recent origin compared to other major groups of eudicots or early diverging angiosperms (e.g. Stebbins, 1974 ).
Jun 1, 2004 · Asterids are nested as a subgroup within the core eudicots in the flowering plant phylogenetic tree (e.g., Soltis et al., 2000). Because of their derived phylogenetic position, their predominantly herbaceous habit, and their many floral specializations, asterids may be considered a comparatively young group that diversified during the Tertiary.

The asterids are one of the largest subgroups of the flowering plants, with more than 75,000 species. Within the asterids, these species are divided about equally between two large clades (evolutionary lineages), shown in the diagram above.
Mar 6, 2010 · The Asteridae is a group of some 80,000 species of flowering plants characterized by their fused corollas and iridoid compounds. Recent phylogenetic analyses have helped delimit the group and have identified four main clades within it; Cornales, Ericales, Lamiids and Campanulids, with the last two collectively known as the Euasteridae.

Feb 5, 2017 · The vast majority of flowering plant diversity can be attributed to the success of a single clade, Pentapetalae, nested within the eudicots. The origin of Pentapetalae coincides with the evolution of a novel suite of floral features (whorled pentamery) and closely follows the gamma genome triplication.
