Caryophyllidae is a botanical name at the rank of subclass. At the moment there is no complete consensus about what orders it includes, except that it presumably contains the order Caryophyllales. Note that this is only a naming difficulty: what to call various taxa of plants; there is little debate about how the plants in question are related ...
Caryophyllales ( / ˌkæri.oʊfɪˈleɪliːz / KARR-ee-oh-fih-LAY-leez) [2] is a diverse and heterogeneous order of flowering plants that includes the cacti, carnations, amaranths, ice plants, beets, and many carnivorous plants. Many members are succulent, having fleshy stems or leaves. The betalain pigments are unique in plants of this order ...

Class: Cestoda. Subclass: Eucestoda. Order: Caryophyllidea. The Caryophyllideans are a group of tapeworms that infect fish and annelids (segmented worms) with a simple scolex or "head." Worms in this order only have one proglottid, which is believed to be the primitive condition for tapeworms. They are generally less than 10 centimetres long.

Relationships of Caryophyllales to other major clades of eudicots remain unclear. Cronquist (1981) and Takhtajan (1980, 1997), on the basis of floral characters, viewed Caryophyllidae as being derived from Ranunculales-type ancestors. However, phylogenetic analyses using many gene sequences place Caryophyllales firmly within the core eudicots.

The caryophyllids are one of the major subgroups of eudicot flowering plants with more than 11,000 species. The group was one of the first recognized higher-level taxa within the angiosperms, even though it was not formally named and recognized until the 1860s. Though the group is well-defined and easily recognized, relationships among the ...
This dates the last common ancestor of the Caryophyllales carnivores in the late Cretaceous, 90 to 65 million years ago, assuming it takes at least 15 million years for a group of plants to diversify that radically. It is fun to think two Caryophyllales carnivore species survived the end Cretaceous asteroid event 65 million years ago, leading ...
