Floral diagrams are presented for sixty families out of fifteenorders of Supperrosidae, including the large and diverse Malvaceae and Leguminosae. The rosids evolved as a major pentamerous clade with five whorls of organs including two whorls of stamens (diplostemony). The clade shows a great amount of diversification, as an increase in complexity with a stamen increase, or a simplification linked with wind pollination through loss of petals. Flowers are generally much diverse with different elaborations of hypanthia. Besides the lower orders, two major clades malvids and fabids are presented, with a large number of families in each. The diversity of characters for different groups are highlighted and floral diagrams are used to clarify important evolutionary shifts, as in Brassicales and Malvales.

Floral diagrams are presented for twenty-one families of the highly diverse orders caryophyllales and polygonales. The caryophyllids represent a small but important clade close to the asterids. The flowers show important evolutionary trends linked with a progressive loss of petals, and their reinvention of petal-like structures in derived groups, such as coloured sepals or staminodes. Stamen evolution also shows unique trends linked with spatial constraints and secondary multiplications. The ovary shows a general tendency to the development of central placentas and the reduction in the number of ovules. Floral diagrams are used to illustrate the major evolutionary trends within caryophyllales and specifically within the diverse family Polygonaceae, in addition to specific diagrams representative of families.
