The name "rosids" is based upon the name "Rosidae", which had usually been understood to be a subclass. In 1967, [[Armen Takhtajan]] showed that the correct basis for the name "Rosidae" is a description of a [[Taxon|group]] of plants published in 1830 by [[Friedrich Gottlieb Bartling]].<ref name="reveal2008"> {{citation | author = James L.

The rosids are a large clade of flowering plants, containing about 70,000 species,[1] more than a quarter of all angiosperms.[2] It is divided into 16 to 20 orders, depending upon circumscription and classification. These orders, in turn, together comprise about 140 families.[3] The rosids and the asterids are by far the largest clades in the eudicots.

Fossil rosids are known from the Cretaceous period. Molecular clock estimates indicate that the rosids originated in the Aptian or Albian stages of the Cretaceous, between 125 and 99.6 million years ago.[4][5]

hi i'm a rosid and i've had http://www.phylodiversity.net/donoghue/publications/MJD_papers/2007/164_Cantino_Taxon07.pdf | doi = 10.2307/25065865 }}</ref> the others being Berberidopsidales, Caryophyllales, Dilleniales, Santalales, and the asterids. Almost nothing is known about the relationships between these groups.

Classification

The rosids consist of two groups: the order Vitales and the eurosids (true rosids). The eurosids, in turn are divided into seven groups: Fabidae, Geraniales, Myrtales, Crossosomatales, Picramniales,[6] Malvidae,[7] and the unplaced family Apodanthaceae.[8] The Fabidae are often called the fabids, or eurosids I. Likewise, the Malvidae are often called the malvids, or eurosids II.

Unplaced families

The families Apodanthaceae and Huaceae are included in the rosids, but not placed in any of its orders.

Apodanthaceae is an enigmatic family of achlorophyllous parasites. They have been provisionally placed in Cucurbitales by some,[6] but their affinities remain obscure.[8] The chloroplast genes that have been used to infer plant phylogeny do not provide much phylogenetic information for plants that lack chlorophyll, because in this case, these genes are nonfunctional pseudogenes.

The family Huaceae is a member of the COM (Celastrales, Oxalidales, Malpighiales) clade of Fabidae. The question about Huaceae is whether it should be included in one of the COM orders or in an order by itself as a 4th member of the COM clade. Two studies have indicated that it should be placed in Oxalidales,[12][13] while one has indicated that it should not.[1]

Phylogeny

The phylogeny shown below is adapted from Wang and co-authors (2009),[1] with order names from the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website.[6] Branches with less than 50% bootstrap support are collapsed. Other branches have 100% bootstrap support except where shown.

The nitrogen-fixing clade contains a high number of actinorhizal plants (which have root nodules containing nitrogen fixing bacteria, helping the plant grow in poor soils). Not all plants in this clade are actinorhizal, however.
