Angiospermae
Angiospermae, olim Magnoliophyta, sunt plantae florentes in diversissimo embryophytorum (plantarum terrestrium) grege. Quae cum gymnospermis sunt soli spermatophytorum greges vivi. Apomorphiis (proprietatibus deductis) distinguuntur ab aliis plantis quae semina faciunt. Maiores plantarum florentium a gymnospermis abhinc annorum circa 245–202 decies centena milia decesserunt.

Classificatio 

Sunt octo angiospermarum viventium greges:
 Amborella: singularis frutex in Nova Caledonia
 Nymphaeales: circa 80 species (Nymphaeaceae et Hydatellaceae)
 Austrobaileyales: circa 100 species plantarum lignearum in variis mundi regionibus
 Chloranthales: circa 50 species plantarum aromaticarum foliis dentatis
 Ceratophyllum: circa 6 species plantarum aquaticarum
 Magnoliidae: circa 9000 species, 
 Eudicotyledones: circa 175 000 species, 
 Monocotyledones: circa 70 000 species,

Diversitas angiospermarum 
Numerus specierum angiospermarum inter 250 000 et 400 000 aestimatur. Numerus familiarum in APG (1998) fuit 462. In APG II (2003), maximus est 457, sed hic numerus 55 segregata opinabilia continet; minimus ergo numerus hoc in systemate est 402.

Diversissimae angiospermarum familiae, in circumscriptionibus APG, ordine numeri specierum, sunt:
 Asteraceae: 23,600
 Orchidaceae: 21,950
 Fabaceae: 19,400
 Rubiaceae: 13,183
 Poaceae: 10,035
 Lamiaceae: 7,173
 Euphorbiaceae: 5,735
 Myrtaceae: 4,620
 Melastomataceae: 4,570
 Cyperaceae: 4,350
Hoc in indice (maximas decem familias monstrante), Orchidaceae, Poaceae, et Cyperaceae sunt monocotyledones; aliae sunt eudicotyledones.
