Basal Angiosperms Characteristics. The first plants to make an appearance on the face of the Earth were gymnosperms. They are said to have given rise to flowering plants about 245 to 202 million years ago. The first flowering plants that deviate from the initial angiosperms are called basal angiosperms.Delving into the evolutionary past of basal angiosperms, one finds few groups that branch off, before the true 'dicots' appear. The basal angiosperms consisted of the Ambroella, Nymphaeales, and Austrobaileyales.n the plant kingdom, the division Spermatophyta is divided into gymnosperms and angiosperms. The most diverse and dominant group of plants among the two are angiosperms, also referred to as magnoliophyta. In common terms, angiosperms are all flowering plants.
The Angiosperms (Flowering plants). are seed-bearing vascular plants. Their reproductive structures are flowers in which the ovules are enclosed in an ovary. Angiosperms are found in almost every habitat from forests and grasslands to sea margins and deserts.Angiosperms display a huge variety of life forms including trees, herbs, submerged aquatics, bulbs and epiphytes.The largest plant families are Orchids, and Compositae (daisies) and Legumes (beans). There are an estimated 352,000 species of flowering plants or angiosperms.You can also browse genera found in Angiosperms.
