Magnoliids, Magnoliidae or Magnolianae are a clade of flowering plants. With more than 10,000 species, including magnolias, nutmeg, bay laurel, cinnamon, avocado, black pepper, tulip tree and many others, it is the third-largest group of angiosperms after the eudicots and monocots. [3] .
The Magnoliaceae ( / mæɡˌnoʊliˈeɪsii /) are a flowering plant family, the magnolia family, in the order Magnoliales. It consists of two genera: Magnolia and Liriodendron (tulip trees). Unlike most angiosperms, whose flower parts are in whorls (rings), the Magnoliaceae have their stamens and pistils in spirals on a conical receptacle. [ 3] .
Dicotyledonous plants (Class Magnoliopsida) are thought to be the most primitive flowering plants. They are defined by several characteristics. Similar to gnetophytes, all dicots germinate producing two seed leaves, hence dicotyledons.
The flowering plants are traditionally divided into two groups: Class Magnoliopsida (the "dicots") and Class Liliopsida (the "monocots"). There are many characteristics that distinguish these two groups but the two most important for field identification are the leaves and the flowers.
Magnoliopsida or dicotyledons is the name of a class of plants in taxonomy. They are also called dicots. It is the biggest group of flowering plants. Seedlings in this group have two seed leaves. Monocots have one seed leaf.
