Eudicots (βtrue dicotsβ): This is a ginormous class, containing almost all leafy trees, quite a lot of plants that humans get food from (including potatoes and all of the legumes), and the plants we get tea, coffee, and chocolate from. It also contains carnivorous plants, parasitic plants, and some very poisonous plants, as well as tobacco and cannabis.
Magnoliids: The third largest group of flowering plants, with over 10,000 species. Magnolias, tulip trees, bay laurels (as in crowned with laurels, as in the spaghetti sauce leaf), black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, avocados. Many species produce fragrant oils, including ylang ylang. MDMA (ecstacy) is derived from a chemical found in some Magnoliids trees.
