  14. The oldest angiosperm

  15. Early lineages (i)

  16. Early lineages (ii) Chloranthaceae Piperaceae

  17. Earliest Angiosperms • Perennial • Evergreen • Woody • Vascular bundles in a ring, • Vessel-less wood • Alternate, simple, coriaceous leaves with entire or sparsely-toothed margins • Lacking stipules • Lacking ethereal oils

  18. Earliest Flowers • Insect-pollinated • Radially symmetrical • Several - many tepals, spirally-arranged, free and distinct • Bisexual • Stamens poorly differentiated into anther and filament • Anthers with four microsporangia opening by longitudinal slits • Superior ovaries • Pollen monosulcate and often lacking well-developed columellae • Carpels fused by secretion, with an elongated stigma and a style poorly differentiated from ovary. • Placentation marginal

  19. Dicotyledons Embryo with 2 cotyledons Primary root persistent Herbs, shrubs or trees Stele cylindrical Pollen tricolpate Monocotyledons Embryo with 1 cotyledon Primary root replaced by adventitious roots Mostly herbs Vascular bundles scattered Pollen monocolpate

  20. Monocolpate and Tricolpate

  21. Anomalous Dicots • Flowers in 3’s or with numerous parts • Poorly differentiated anthers • Poorly developed styles and elongate stigmas • Pollen monocolpate or inaperturate • Ethereal oils in vegetative parts

  22. Magnoliaceae

  23. Lauraceae

  24. Piperaceae

  25. Nymphaceae

  26. A summary of the major groups that occurred in greater than 50% of the 1000 jackknife replicates (from Soltis et al. 2000).

  27. ANITA • Amborellaceae • Nymphaceae • Illiciaceae • Trimeniaceae • Austrobaileyaceae

  28. MAGNOLIIDS • Chloranthaceae • Magnoliaceae • Annonaceae • Myristicaceae • Lauraceae • Piperaceae • Aristolochiaceae • Ceratophyllaceae

  29. New Caledonia Amborellaceae

  30. Amborella trichopoda

  31. Amborella trichopoda • Shrubby • Lacks vessels • No ethereal oils • Radial flowers with 7-11 tepals • Dioecious • Ascidiate carpels

  32. Nymphaceae Victoria amazonica

  33. Nymphaceae

  34. Austrobaileyalesllliciaceae

  35. AustrobaileyalesTrimeniaceae

  36. AustrobaileyalesAustrobaileyaceae

  37. Chloranthaceae

  38. Piperaceae

  39. Aristolochiaceae

  40. Lauraceae
