List of Caryophyllales of South Africa
Flowering plants in the order Caryophyllales recorded from South Africa
Caryophyllales ( KARR -ee-oh-fil-AY -leez )[ 1] is an order of flowering plants that includes the cacti , carnations , amaranths , ice plants , beets , and many carnivorous plants . Many members are succulent , having fleshy stems or leaves .
This order is part of the core eudicots .[ 2] The monophyly of the Caryophyllales has been supported by DNA sequences , cytochrome c sequence data and heritable characters such as anther wall development and vessel-elements with simple perforations.[ 3]
The anthophytes are a grouping of plant taxa bearing flower-like reproductive structures. They were formerly thought to be a clade comprising plants bearing flower-like structures. The group contained the angiosperms - the extant flowering plants, such as roses and grasses - as well as the Gnetales and the extinct Bennettitales .[ 4]
23,420 species of vascular plant have been recorded in South Africa, making it the sixth most species-rich country in the world and the most species-rich country on the African continent. Of these, 153 species are considered to be threatened.[ 5] Nine biomes have been described in South Africa: Fynbos , Succulent Karoo , desert , Nama Karoo , grassland , savanna , Albany thickets , the Indian Ocean coastal belt , and forests .[ 6]
The 2018 South African National Biodiversity Institute 's National Biodiversity Assessment plant checklist lists 35,130 taxa in the phyla Anthocerotophyta (hornworts (6)), Anthophyta (flowering plants (33534)), Bryophyta (mosses (685)), Cycadophyta (cycads (42)), Lycopodiophyta (Lycophytes(45)), Marchantiophyta (liverworts (376)), Pinophyta (conifers (33)), and Pteridophyta (cryptogams (408)).[ 7]
21 families are represented in the literature. Listed taxa include species , subspecies , varieties , and forms as recorded, some of which have subsequently been allocated to other taxa as synonyms , in which cases the accepted taxon is appended to the listing. Multiple entries under alternative names reflect taxonomic revision over time.
