basal angiosperms & magnolids introduction
[edit | edit source]This page is the start of the angiosperms or flowering plants, which comprise the bulk of this guide. It starts with the order Nymphaeales and continues with the three orders of the Magnoliidae that are found in New York.[1][2]
|
Aristolochia s.l. is here seaprated into 3 genera (Endodeca, Isotrema, and Aristolochia s.s.),[1] in agreement with the New York Flora Atlas. Lauraceae clades are based on Chanderbali et al. (2001).[2]

Order Nymphaeales
[edit | edit source]The order Nymphaeales contains the aquatic flowering plant families Hydatellaceae, Cabombaceae, and Nymphaeaceae. Only the latter two have taxa found outside of cultivation in New York. Aside from Amborella, a shrub endemic to New Caledonia, the Nymphaeales are considered to be the oldest lineage of angiosperms. Most estimates put the age of the Nymphaeales at well over 100 million years.[1]
|
Family Cabombaceae
[edit | edit source]Two Cabombaceae (water-shield family) species are found in New York. One, Cabomba caroliniana, is rare in most of the state but has the potential to be a highly invasive exotic plant.
|
Brasenia
[edit | edit source]The only extant species of Brasenia (B. schreberi) is native to New York, as well as much of the rest of the world.

Cabomba
[edit | edit source]Native to the southeastern United States, Cabomba caroliniana (Carolina fanwort) is considered to be an alien invasive plant in the Northwest and Northeast, including New York, where it is listed as highly invasive.[1]
Although the 2008 New York State Invasiveness rank for Cabomba caroliniana was 72.34% (high invasiveness),[2] the New York Flora Atlas in 2024 lists the native status for this plant as Unknown.[3]

Aristolochia
[edit | edit source]Members of the genus Aristolochia, birthwort (Aristolochia clematitis) in particular, have been used as medicinal plants since ancient times, but have been shown to be both carcinogenic and toxic to the kidneys. It seems to be a fairly rare weed in New York State, but could become invasive where allowed to naturalize.

[edit | edit source]The order Magnoliales Bromhead ...
|
Family Magnoliaceae
[edit | edit source]The Magnoliaceae (magnolia family) has traditionally been separated into the two subfamilies Magnolioideae and Liriodendroideae. Magnolioideae contained a number of genera including Magnolia s.s., the largest genus. Liriodendroideae contained the single genus Liriodendron. Phylogenetic research has shown Magnolia s.s. to be polyphyletic. Therefore it was suggested that rather than breaking Magnolia into numerous new genera, all other genera in Magnolioideae would be placed in Magnolia s.l. to create a single monophyletic genus. This leaves the two subfamilies with one genus apiece, making Magnoliaceae subfamilies redundant. So, they are not used here.[1][2]

Liriodendron
[edit | edit source]Liriodendron consists of two species: Liriodendron tulipifera (tulip tree) from eastern North America and Liriodendron chinense from southeast Asia.
The lumber of the tulip tree has similar properties to poplar (Populus) species, so it is often marketed as "tulip poplar" or "yellow poplar," even though tulip and poplar trees are not closely related. |

Subfamily Annonoideae
[edit | edit source]Asimina
[edit | edit source]Asimina or pawpaw is a genus of small trees or shrubs that are native to eastern North America. Of these, only the most common species (Asimina triloba) is thought to be native as far north as New York. Though its native range only reaches into the western part of the state, common pawpaw trees can persist where cultivated in other parts of the state and may naturalize in clonal thickets. Pawpaw is considered to be the largest edible native North American fruit (in the culinary sense).[1]
