MALPIGHIALES

Malpighiales are of the Kingdom: Plantae

A large order of flowering plants. Vessel element type; sieve tubes with non-dispersive protein bodies; leaf margin toothed; teeth with a single vein running into a congested deciduous apex; stigma dry; exotegmen fibrous.

Crown Malpighiales diverged some time in the Cretaceous-late Aptian period. Diversification seems to have been rapid. The order contains ca 7.8% eudicot diversity and is particularly important in tropical rainforests where it is an important component of the diversity of the understory; it accounts for up to some 28% of the species and 38% of the total stems. Articulation of the pedicels is another feature that may be common to the order. Malpighiales are still poorly understood.
