Liliate

In dicotyledonous groups a general trend originated towards the developments of a tectate ectexine (Walker 1974a), a trait apparently not exhibited by the Monocotyledons (or only appearing in some advanced liliate taxa).

As an example of the methodology a sample of eighty-eight liliate families has been classified using data pertaining to fifty-one attributes and using an intensely clustering sorting strategy.

Oligandry of flowers is more derived than polyandry ( at least within each major subdivision of the Dicots ) ; some liliate families ( such as Iridaceae) have 'lost' a staminal whorl and are more advanced in this respect than related families with a biseriate androecium; in several families of Angiosperms the number of ovules may be progressively oligomerised from many per ovary locule to a few (or a single one), etc.

Tall, liliate flowers screening the rabbits' pen harmonize with floral patterns in the M ( Memento ) and in the enamel-like design behind it .

The liliate or pattée cross.

There is a phytochemical link between alismatid ("helobial") taxa and herbaceous ranunculalean ones, but it is a question if one may deduce from this correspondence that the Alismatidae are the most primitive liliates and all other monocots are derived from them, and also whether their progenitorial magnoliids were of a ranunculiid type.

In Timisoara, the most important anemophile taxa belong to wooden magnoliates (14), herbaceous magnoliates (6), liliates (2) and pinnates (2).

Amongst the terrestrial liliates there are two major groups which are behaviourly well separated in that one (8, 9, 10) has largely wind-pollinated and the other (3, 4, 5, 6, 7) largely animal-pollinated members.
