And grab your posters here: store.dftba.com/collections/d... In this map of plants I summarise all of the different kinds of plants from algae all the way through bryophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, angiosperms, monocots, eudicots, rosids and asterids. I explain how they are related to each other due to their evolutionary history, and the features that make plants so successful, leaves, roots, a vascular system, spores, seeds, flowers and fruits.

Squashes ("gourds and pumpkins") truly look and grow nothing like nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, etc.).

Some inaccuracies: wild carrots being inedible, apples not being fruits because they don’t form from the "plant ovary" (also inaccurate) and therefore being “false fruits” (even though they’re accessory fruits the same way as cucumbers, pumpkins, melons, figs and many others), plant sexual reproduction (see alternation of generations), the number of edible plant species, etc.

Apples, Pears, Plums, Cherries, Peaches, Apricots, Almonds, Rasperries, Blackberries, Strawberries, Hawthornes... When I was younger if someone told me that cherry trees were a member of the rose family I wouldn't've believed it. But then you look at the leaves, the flowers, and a lot of other features and it all starts to make sense.... but it's still so wild.

This was probably one of the most amazing things I learned about plants over the years - especially because it implies that for any given plant, there may well exist related forms varying from enormous old growth trees to miniscule ephemeral herbs, all of which may have recognizable congruent structures in flower, leaf, fruit, or seed, in addition to similar edible or medicinal characteristics. This may also imply that, say, even though there may never have been a tree form of a strawberry, the genetic potential to create one is likely extant in current herbaceous forms.

DeWerth at Texas A&M University for imparting his vast knowledge on the subject of floriculture. Thank you for this entertaining and clear summation of the incredible plant kingdom.

It's not just what is known, but what is still unknown; finally DNA is resolving some of the relationships which were only guessed at before. Also the incredible diversity, just when you think you've got a handle on what variety is possible, there's a new plant which upsets your expectations. Did you think you had to visit an alien planet to find a life form with three genders? Nope, there's a plant right here on Earth (purple loosestrife).

A good example of trees evolving independently is the starfruit tree, which is in the order that you represented by wood sorrels, Oxalidales, and even in the same family as wood sorrels, Oxalidaceae. Starfruit share some surprising traits in common with wood sorrels, such as the five-spiked fruit shape (with the same star-shaped cross-section in tiny _Oxalis_ seed pods as in starfruit!) and the presence of moderate quantities of oxalic acid which contributes to the tangy sour flavor of both star fruit and wood sorrel. Some other members of that family are the aptly named tree sorrels, with even more sour fruits, though their fruit are shaped differently on the outside. The wood sorrel genus is actually the only member of the family with non-woody plants; all the others are trees or shrubs.

Oxalis is also sister to the rest of the family. Other notable herbs in otherwise woody families include cannabis and hops in the family Cannabaceae (to which also belongs hackberry), ginseng and pennywort in the family Araliaceae (same family as umbrella trees and devil's walking stick), milkweed in the Apocynaceae, and flowering fern in the Bignoniaceae (related to catalpa, trumpet vine, and crossvine) The opposite examples come from some species of plantain, foxglove, and all of Aragoa in the family Plantaginaceae, Steganotaenia and blue umbrella in the Apiaceae (things like carrots, poison hemlock, parsley, fennel, sanicle, and celery), Artemisia sage and giant groundsels in the Asteraceae (composites along with marsh elder and ragweed), qantu in the Polemoniaceae (Phlox and Gilia), Fuchsia in the Onagraceae, pomegranate and henna in the Lythraceae, Clematis in the Ranunculaceae, Yucca in the family Asparagaceae, and Dendromecon in the Papaveraceae. Being woody is often not diagnostic for family!

This is something that settles something deep in my soul. I've always loved ecology and pretty flowcharts. This is both. Something I've wanted since forever but couldn't find .
