		The Asteridae, one of the six subclasses in the class Magnoliopsida (dicotyledons), consists of 11 orders, 49 families, and nearly 60,000 species.
		That is to say, if investigators had the common ancestor of the Asteridae (or its immediate predecessor) at hand, they would probably refer it to the Rosales.
		It is unusual in the Asteridae in that the flowers are nearly without a perianth.

	ASTERIDAE INFO AND TIPS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		''Asteridae'' is a botanical name at the rank of subclass.
		To a large extent Cronquist's subclass Asteridae corresponds with the older concepts of ''Sympetalae'' and ''Tubiflorae'', groups that were defined by having their petals united into a tube.
		The circumscription of subclass Asteridae, as well as the circumscriptions of the orders contained within it, is currently in a state of flux; many systematic botanists refer to these as clades (asterids, euasterids, etc., rather than use formal names such as subclass Asteridae.

		Elements of the Asteridae are well marked by the presence of sympetaly and distinguished from sympetalous Dilleniidae by an androecium with stamens either equal to or less than the number of corolla lobes and positioned between the corolla lobes.
		The Asteridae are the most advanced subclass of dicotyledons, and possibly the most recently evolved (only the Caryophyllidae may be more recent).
		It seems likely that the rise of the Asteridae is closely correlated with the evolution of insects capable of recognizing complex floral patterns.

		Although nearly the same size as Rosidae in terms of species, as defined by Cronquist, the Asteridae is exceeded by the Rosidae and Dillenidae in terms of families.
		Most have sympetalous flowers and epipetalous stamens that alternate with and are the same number or fewer than the corolla lobes.
		There is growing evidence that this family is not a member of the Asteridae but rather should be assigned to the Dilleniidae and positioned near the Fouquieriaceae DC.

		Cladistic and network-based analyses were performed to establish viable hypotheses regarding the evolution of bilateral symmetry in Asteridae.
		For the TCP gene family, the use of cladistic phylogenetic analysis to identify orthologous genes is complicated by a paucity of alignable data, frequent gene duplication and extinction, and the possibility of reticulate evolution via intergenic recombination.

		Title : Molecular Systematics of the Asteridae Abstract : Dr. Jeffrey Palmer and colleagues at the University of Michigan are studying evolutionary relationships among flowering plants at two distinct taxonomic levels.
		At one level, they plan to investigate relationships among the 50 or so families that comprise the subclass Asteridae, the second largest subclass of dicots.
		Although Asteridae are generally considered to be the most highly advanced and recently evolved of dicots subclasses, outstanding questions and controversies remain concerning the relative placement and relationships of most of the families in this group.

		Technical Abstract: In the plant subclass Asteridae, bilaterally symmetrical flowers have evolved from a radially symmetrical ancestral phenotype on at least three independent occasions: in the Boraginaceae, Solanaceae, and Lamiales.
		Development of bilateral flower symmetry has been shown to be determined by the early acting cycloidea (cyc) and dichotoma (dich) genes in Antirrhinum, a member of the Lamiales.
		TCP gene sequences were isolated from 11 Asteridae taxa using an array of degenerate PCR primers.

		Title : Symposium: Phylogeny of Asteridae, Richmond, VA, August 1990 Abstract : Taxonomic understanding of the broad interrelationships of groups of flowering plants can both facilitate and constrain comparative study of the morphology, physiology, and ecology of plants.
		Where taxa have been well sampled, deep knowledge of their evolutionary or genealogical relationships leads to fruitful comparisons of homologous structures or biochemical pathways or life-histories.
		When the taxa are not well known, comparisons are often made between spuriously related forms, and arguments may perpetuate endlessly over whether convergence or true evolutionary relationship accounts for the similarity in form or function under study.

		They are more advanced than the Magnoliidae by being syncarpous and less advanced than the Asteridae by being largely polypetalous rather than sympetalous or having more than two fused carpels.
		The Rosidae has been distinguished from the Dilleniidae in that species with numerous stamens have the stamens initiated in centripetal (rather than centrifugal) sequence and usually do not exhibited parietal placentation which is common in Dilleniidae.
		The Proteaceae should be moved to the "lower hamamelids." The two orders Cornales and Apiales are related to lineages of the Asteridae as suggested by previous morphological and chemical studies.

		However, a majority of the shifts from zygomorphy to actinomorphy appear to have entailed a reduction in petal number and flower size, implying a mechanism other than loss of CYCLOIDEA function.
		Within the Asteridae there appear to be three common forms of zygomorphy.
		An explanation for the virtual absence of other forms rests on the near universality of the basic orientation of the flower in the Asteridae.

	Dicotyledon Summary
		Although the monocot-dicot division has been recognized since the late nineteenth century, recent phylogenetic studies demonstrate clearly that this split does not accurately reflect the evolutionary history of flowering plants.
		The main branches of eudicots are the eurosids (made up of members of the traditional subclasses Rosidae, Dilleniidae, and Asteridae), the asterids (containing members of subclasses Asteridae, Dilleniidae, and Rosidae), and the Caryophyllales; there is no clade that corresponds to subclass Dilleniidae.
		The first angiosperms that appear in the fossil record possess those characteristics typically assigned to the dicots, and both the monocots and eudicots evolved later.
