Superrosids
Superrosids
Clade of flowering plants
The superrosids are members of a large clade (monophyletic group) of flowering plants, containing more than 88,000 species,[2] and thus more than a quarter of all angiosperms.[3]
The clade is divided into 18 orders as defined in APG IV system. These orders, in turn, together comprise about 155 families.[1]
The name is based upon the name "Rosidae", which had usually been understood to be a subclass.
