How consistent are the positions of the four magnoliopsid orders?
The positions of the four magnoliopsid orders are consistent through almost all studies of the past 10 years (e.g. Mathews and Donoghue 2000, Soltis et al. 1999, Hilu et al. 2003, Jansen et al. 2007, APG I 1998, APG II 2003, APG III 2009, Chase and Reveal 2009).
What is the Magnoliaceae family?
