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 New and Old World deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs bearing leathery drupes with yellow translucent flesh; most plants produce toxic saponins

widely distributed evergreen shrubs and trees

trees and shrubs and woody vines usually having bright-colored fruits

shrubs and trees with leathery leaves and small white flowers in racemes: genera Cyrilla and Cliftonia
