| Clades[1] | |
The superasterids are members of a large clade (monophyletic group) of flowering plants, containing more than 122,000 species.[citation needed]
The clade is divided into 20 orders as defined in APG IV system. These orders, in turn, together comprise about 146 families.[1]
The name is based upon the name "Asteridae", which had usually been understood to be a subclass.
Relationships
The asterids, Berberidopsidales, Santalales, and Caryophyllales form the superasterids clade.[2] This is one of three groups that compose the Pentapetalae (core eudicots minus Gunnerales),[3] the others being Dilleniales and the superrosids (Saxifragales and rosids).[2]
