  1. Rosids: Fabids Spring 2012

  2. Fig. 8.1

  3. Rosids – Major Points • Comprise about 25% of all angiosperms • Includes two main clades: fabids and malvids • Main support for monophyly from molecular data • No clear morphological synapomorphies, but tendencies to have perianths with unfused parts and a stamen merosity > calyx or corolla, although there are many exceptions • Extreme variation in habit (trees, shrubs, herbs, vines, etc.) as well as extensive proliferation of floral syndromes, including wind, insect, bird, and bat pollination • Transition from apocarpy to syncarpy as seen before; fusion and embellishment of floral parts
