- These names refer to clades (unranked). The class Magnoliopsida is not defined. The idea that dicotyledons are a taxonomic unit and require a formal name is rejected by the APG: the dicots are considered to be paraphyletic.

The remaining dicots (palaeodicots or basal angiosperms) may be kept in a single paraphyletic class, called Magnoliopsida, or further divided. Some botanists prefer to retain the dicotyledons as a valid class, arguing its practicality and that it makes evolutionary sense.
It is generally accepted that monocotyledons evolved from within the dicotyledons, and as such the latter form a paraphyletic group (one is which the group contains its most recent common ancestor, but does not contain all the descendants of that ancestor; in this case, it does not include the monocots).

Nutmeg fruits are a source of the hallucinogen myristicin. Other magnoliids also are known for their narcotic, hallucinogenic, or paralytic properties. The Polynesian beverage kava is prepared from the pulverized roots of Piper methysticum, and has both sedative and narcotic properties. [17]
Mar 27, 2019 · 1. Darwin: phylogeny and plants. Although best known for articulating the concept of evolution by natural selection, Darwin explored a host of other topics, laying the foundations for subsequent scientific inquiry in fields as diverse as plant structure/function, carnivorous plants, and phylogenetics.

The present classification of extant flowering plants (Magnoliopsida) updates and re-vises those presented previously by bringing together the vast majority of new informa-tion published since 1999. The extant members of Magnoliopsida are subdivided into 12 subclasses, 35 superorders, 87 orders, 40 suborders, 472 families, and 400 subfamilies.
Aug 11, 2003 · The Magnoliidae are paraphyletic, and both the Hamamelidae and Dilleniidae are grossly polyphyletic, with constituent members appearing throughout much of the angiosperm tree. Thus, “Magnoliidae,” “Hamamelidae,” and “Dilleniidae” do not refer to monophyletic groups, and these names are no longer valid.
