Rosopsida Batsch
1788 is a botanical name
for a group of flowering plant
s recognized at the rank of class. The name is derived from that of the included family Rosaceae
. The name has not been used in most of the more influential recent classification systems, such as the Cronquist system
, the Thorne system, the Takhtajan system
or the APG II system. As circumscribed in the Reveal system
it is a subset of the dicots, a paraphyletic group recognized at various ranks in other systems, and includes:
Reveal's circumscription of the group corresponds largely to Cronquist's class Magnoliopsida
(but minus subclass Magnoliidae
) and to the eudicots
of the APG II system minus Ranunculales
and some other early-branching groups.
