Magnoliaceae - 2 genera/220 species.
Trees or shrubs; Ethereal oils (aromatic terpenoids) - (remember the smell of bay leaves?); Leaves alternate, simple (Magnolia) or lobed (Liriodendron), entire; Flowers large and showy, actinomorphic, bisexual Tepals 6-numerous, stamens and carpels numerous, Spirally arranged on an elongated receptacle, Laminar stamens poorly differentiated into anther and filament. Fruit usually an aggregate of follicle (Magnolia) or samara (Liriodendron); follicle: 1-carpellate fruit that dehisces on the side samara: 1-carpellate winged, indehiscent fruit Phylogeny of Eudicots (or Tricolpates) Eudicots (or Tricolpates) “Basal eudicots”

Ranunculaceae - 47 genera/2000 species.
Usually Herbs, some vines (Clematis) or shrubs; Leaves highly variable, but usually no stipules; Flowers usually bisexual, actinomorphic to occasionally zygomorphic; Perianth parts in distinct whorls of 5 when differentiated or tepals 4-numerous when undifferentiated. Stamens numerous; Carpels usually 5-numerous, occasionally reduced to 1. Ovary superior; Fruit usually an aggregate of follicle or achenes, occasionally a berry; achene: 1-carpellate indehiscent fruit, single seeded. berry: 1-more-carpellate, fleshy fruit with many seeds.

Papaveraceae s.s. - 23 genera/240 species.
Mostly Herbs; Stems with laticifers (cells producing latex), producing white, cream, yellow, orange, or red sap; the sap with various alkaloids including opium, morphine, heroin, codeine. Leaves often lobed or dissected; Flowers bisexual, actinomorphic sepals usually 2, often quickly deciduous; petals ususally 4 (-6 or occasionally numerous) Stamens numerous; Carpels 2-numerous, connate, ovary superior. Fruit a capsule, often poricidal or explosive dehiscence (Eschscholzia); seeds arillate - the arils (an outgrowth of the seed) are hard and oily (ant dispersal), or flshey and brightly colored (bird dispersal).
