Flowering plant family tree

This illustrative phylogram compares selected flowering plants and highlights three named groups. Rice and orchid form the monocot branch, rose and pea form a rosid branch, and sunflower and tomato form an asterid branch. Magnolia provides an additional comparison point. The branch-length scale identifies the drawing as a phylogram rather than a simple classification chart.

FAQ

Questions fréquentes

What is a phylogram?

A phylogram is a phylogenetic tree whose branch lengths represent an amount of evolutionary change.

Why are clades highlighted?

The highlights make the named monocot, rosid and asterid groups easy to identify.

Can I add more plant groups?

Yes, though a teaching diagram is clearest when it stays focused on a small set.
