The Alismatales (alismatids) are an order of flowering plants including about 4,500 species. Plants assigned to this order are mostly tropical or aquatic. Some grow in fresh water, some in marine habitats. Perhaps the most important food crop in the order is the taro plant, Colocasia esculenta.

Alismatales, arrowhead and pondweed order of nearly 4,800 species of flowering plants, belonging to the monocotyledon (monocot) group, whose species have a single seed leaf. The group includes a number of ornamentals and houseplants, as well as several flowers that are important in the floral industry.

Alismataceae, the water plantain family of 113 species of freshwater flowering plants belonging to the order Alismatales and including 17 genera, the most common of which are Alisma (water plantain), Echinodorus (burhead), and Sagittaria (arrowhead).

Alismatales - Aquatic, Monocotyledonous, Angiosperms: The method of endosperm development is the characteristic that holds most of the arrowhead and pondweed order together. The nutritional value of the order is insignificant, though some are used as food, fodder, and fertilizer.

Apr 19, 2022 · Alismatales is the largest clade of aquatic angiosperms including all marine angiosperms, as well as terrestrial plants. We used Alismatales to explore plant adaptations to aquatic environments by analyzing a data set that included 95 samples (89 Alismatales species) covering four genomes and 91 transcriptomes (59 generated in this study).

Alismatales are an order of flowering plants, including some well-known species such as the water arum (Calla palustris), Nymphoides peltata, and Japanese water shield (Brasenia schreberi). They are sometimes known as the “watermints“.

The Alismatales, including the family Araceae, is sister to all other monocots except the Acorales. Subsequent, sequential lineages include Petrosaviales, a Dioscoreales-Pandanales clade, Liliales, Asparagales, and the Commelinids.

Alismatales is an order of flowering plants with 14 families. They are Monocots which live in marshy and aquatic (water) habitats.

Oct 17, 2024 · Alismatales include the only marine angiosperms that grow fully submerged, the so-called seagrasses (see below). Alismatales also include many other aquatics, hydrophytes and plants of marshy habitats, and this may well be the ancestral condition for the group as a whole (for Araceae, see Nauheimer et al. 2012b).

The Alismatales (alismatids) are an order of flowering plants including about 4500 species. Plants assigned to this order are mostly tropical or aquatic. Some grow in fresh water, some in marine habitats.
