Magnoliophyta Angiosperms Magnoliophyta Angiosperms Survey of Angiosperms using APG system Survey of Angiosperms using APG system What is the APG classification Amborella trichopoda Basal Angiosperms We will begin our survey of angiosperms by examining the basal angiosperms angiosperms those groups that are now shown to be the oldest diverging paraphyletic paraphyletic These include all those shown here except the eudicots which are the bulk of dicots We will look at the monocots a basal angiosperm group group at the end of the class Basal angiosperms angiosperms ANITA basal families
