the order of plants

comprising seed plants that produce an embryo with paired cotyledons and net-veined leaves; divided into six (not always well distinguished) subclasses (or superorders): Magnoliidae and Hamamelidae (considered primitive); Caryophyllidae (an early and distinctive offshoot); and three more or less advanced groups: Dilleniidae; Rosidae; Asteridae

chiefly tropical trees or shrubs or herbs having milky juice and often showy flowers; many are sources of drugs

chiefly herbaceous plants with showy flowers; some are cultivated as ornamentals

a family of Old World shrubs and trees of order Gentianales; related to Oleaceae but having four stamens and four petals

trees and shrubs having berries or drupes or capsules as fruits; sometimes placed in the order Oleales: olive; ash; jasmine; privet; lilac
