5-499: 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. Well-known plants in this clade include the common daisy , forget-me-nots , nightshades (including potatoes , eggplants , tomatoes , chili peppers and tobacco ),
10-568: The Cronquist system (1981) and as Sympetalae in earlier systems. The name asterids (not necessarily capitalised) resembles the earlier botanical name but is intended to be the name of a clade rather than a formal ranked name, in the sense of the ICBN . Genetic analysis carried out after APG II maintains that the sister to all other asterids are the Cornales . A second order that split from
15-418: The common sunflower , petunias , yacon , morning glory , lettuce , sweet potato , coffee , lavender , lilac , olive , jasmine , honeysuckle , ash tree , teak , snapdragon , sesame , psyllium , garden sage , blueberries , table herbs such as mint , basil , and rosemary , and rainforest trees such as Brazil nut . Most of the taxa belonging to this clade had been referred to as Asteridae in
20-1005: The base of the asterids are the Ericales . The remaining orders cluster into two clades, the lamiids and the campanulids. The structure of both of these clades has changed in APG III . In the APG III system, the following clades were renamed: The phylogenetic tree presented hereinafter has been proposed by the APG IV project. Cornales Ericales Aquifoliales Asterales Escalloniales Bruniales Apiales Dipsacales Paracryphiales Icacinales Metteniusales Garryales Boraginales Gentianales Vahliales Lamiales Solanales The lamiid subclade consists of about 40,000 species and account for about 15% of angiosperm diversity, characterized in general by superior ovaries and corollas with any fusion of
25-415: The petals (sympetaly) occurring late in the process of development. The major part of lamiid diversity occurs in the group of five orders from Boraginales to Solanales, referred to informally as "core lamiids" (sometimes called Laminae), although Vahliales consists of the single small genus Vahlia . The remainder of the lamiids are referred to as "basal lamiids", in which Garryales is the sister group to
