AndrewR 8-11 - Organisms In Same Class But different Order. (Group of Foru)

The Plant Class Magnoliopsida:





1-This water Lilly or Nympha
eaceae is part of the plant class magnoliopsida but in the order Nyphaeales . This order includes many aquatic plant species and has relations to ancient forms of water based herbs.

















2- This simple cactus is also in the plant class of magnoliopsida but in the order of caryophyllales.
This order includes cacti, carnations and carnivorous plants. Most of the species in this order are succulent with fleshy leaves and stems.












3- This riping pear belongs to the same plant class magnoliopsida but to the fruit order of rosales. This order includes roses and may fruits like pears, cherries, apples and peaches.












4- This plant is a non-medical form of aloe. This plant belongs to the class Magnoliopsida but to the order of asparagales. This order is a rather old order dating back to the late cretaeous period. There are many varying families in the order now so one defining characteristic could not be reached.
