Families

The Crossosomatales are an order, newly recognized by the APG II, of flowering plants, included within the Rosids, which are part of the eudicots.

Description

The species assigned to the Crossosomatales have in common that the flowers are positioned solitary, with the base of the calyx, corolla, and stamens fused into a tube-shaped floral cup, the sepals overlapping, with the outermost smaller than inner ones. The inside of the casings of the pollen grains have horizontally extended thin regions (or endo-apertures). The gynoecium is placed on a short stalk, the papillae on the stigma consist of two or more cells, the ovary locules taper upwards, and the protective cell layer (or integument) surrounding the ovule leaves a zigzag opening (or micropyle). Some cell clusters have bundles of long yellow crystals, mucilage cells are present, and seeds have a smooth, woody seed skin.[2]

Taxonomy

The relationships between the orders is the Malvid clade according to the APG system is represented by the following tree.[3]
