Lamiales
lamiales is an order of Dicotyledonous flowering plants. Lamiales' have superior ovary composed of two fused carpels and four petals fused into a tube. They are bilaterally symmetrical and generally has four or fewer fertile stamens. A common known example of a plant with the lamiales order is mint.
Sapindales
Sapindales, generally contain a large amount of woody plants, mostly trees and large shrubs. trees that belong to this order such as the sugar maple and horse chestnut usually has compound leaves meaning many leaflets connected to one stern. The flowers are generally small and the the seeds are often encapsulated and breaks open to reveal the seed, in addition the leaves are veined: a quality of magnoliopsida.
Fabales
The fabales order divides into three families: Caesalpiniaceae, leguminosae, and Mimosaceae. And collectively they are known as the legumes. Not only does the fabales include vines, trees, and herbs, these legumes contains nitrogen fixating bacteria: an ability known to the legumes. The fabales also has compound leaves similar to many sapindales.
asterales
Asterales ordered plants are widely distributed throughout most of the world. Asterales are usually associated with herbaceous plants as well as shrubs and giant tree-like members. Common characteristics include unique stamen morphology, with stamens usually clustered densely around the style. Sunflowers, lettuce, and the ubiquitous bellis perennis all belong to this order. Medicine herbs, spices, and flavorings are also generally associated with this order.
Myrtales
Myrtales consist mostly of two species: melastomataceae and myrtaceae. Myrtales are often distributed throughout the tropics and warmer regions of the world and are mostly trees and shrubs. They consist of woody and herbaceous plants characterized by production of tannins; a bitter tasting organic substance. An example would be Leandra subseriata.
Malvales
The Malvales order are mostly woody plants such as shrubs and trees. Many members of Malvales can be recognized easily by their leaves, which often have palmate venation meaning a vein arrangement in a leaf with the veins radiating outward from the base of the leaf. Also the inside wall of the fruit and the surface of the seed are often hairy, such as the Ceiba tree.
Fagales
The Fagales order contains some of the best-known trees of both hemispheres which includes : Birch family, Walnut family, she-oak, etc. This Order contains both Staminate flowers, a male flower bearing only stamens , and pistillate flowers, a female flower bearing only pistils. Some characteristics are: reduced or absent sepals and petals. Many Fagales pollinate through wind. A well known example are oak trees.
Solanales
The solanales order consists of 5 family groups of flowering plants. Many of the plants under the solanales order are known to be toxic. Solanaceae are mostly herbs, shrubs, and woody epiphytes, although there are some trees in the family. A few species are vines. Many solancales plant are the things we eat on a daily bases such as pepper, eggplants, tomatoes. Tabacco is also an infamous plant that falls under the solancales order.
Laurales
Members of Laurales are generally characterized by woodiness, aromatic parts, and a single strand of conducting tissues from the stem into the leaf. The family also has a worldwide distribution in tropical and warm climates. The laurales flowers are often protogynous, meaning that they have the female reproductive organs come to maturity before the male. An example of such a flower would be the Sassafras albidum.
Magnoliales
The Magnoliales members include woody shrubs, climbers, and trees. Magnoliales are woody plants with simple (seldom lobed) leaves and ethereal oil cells in the tissues of the plant body. The ovary is usually placed above the base of the stamens in the flower (hypogynous), and the outer part of a flower (perianth) is well developed. The seeds have a small embryo and abundant endosperm. An example of a plant under this order is the champac.
Brassicales
The members within this order is the glucosinolates (Mustard oils) which give the plants a distinct smell and taste. Mustard oils of such are used as a defensive tool to deter bacteria and mammals but are ineffective against butterflies of the genus Piers and its relatives. Many Brassicales have their nectary between the petals and the stamens, while many other flowers have their nectary between the stamens and the ovary. An example of a flower under the Barssicles order is the elegant Aubrieta deltoidea.
Nymphaeales
The nymphaeles is a unique order in that all plants of the nymphaeales order are aquatic. They are always attached to pond or stream bottoms, but whether their leaves and flowers are submerged, floating, or standing above the water varies form flower to flower. An epitome example of this is the water lily also, many, but not all, water lilies are fragrant and produce a floral or citrus smell.
