1 Angiosperms = Magnoliophyta (Flowering Plants )
(Takhtajan ,1987; Cronquist,1981) - Class Magnoliopsida (Dicots) - Class Liliopsida (Monocots)

2 SUBCLASS MAGNOLIIDAE 8 orders, 32 families, species many primitive traits - tracheids, essential - oil cells Floral parts - spirally arranged undetermined number perianth - differentiated or not to calyx and corolla anemophylic and entomophylic flowers

3

4 Order Magnoliales Magnoliaceae - The Magnolia family Magnolia grandiflora - Southern Magnolia

5 Liriodendron tulipifera
Liriodendron tulipifera - Tulip poplar

6 Schisandra chinensis - Five flavor berry

7 Order Laurales Lauraceae - The Laurel Family Laurus nobilis - Sweetbay

8 Cynnamomum zeylanicum - True cinnamon tree

9 Cynamomum camphora - Camphor Laurel

10 Persea gratissima = P. americana
Avocado

11 Order Piperales Piperaceae -The Piper Family
Piper nigrum - Black Pepper Piper cubeba - Cubeb

12 Pepper varieties - green, white, black

13 Alkaloid piperine cristals

14 Nymphaea alba Order Nymphaeales Nymphaceae - The Water Lilies Family
Not necessarily to learn Nymphaea alba Victoria regia - Queen Victoria's water lily

15 Nymphaea alba - European white waterlily
Nuphar lutea - Yellow water lily

16 Nelumbo lucifera - Indian lotus

17 Order Magnoliales Myristicaceae - The Nutmeg family Myristica fragrans - Nutmeg

18 Order Ranunculales Ranunculaceae - The Buttercup (crowfoot)  family

21 Helleborus odorus - Hellebores
Ranunculus sceleratus - Celery-leaved buttercup

22 Aconitum sp. – Monkshood -"the Queen of poisons"
The main bio-active substance of Ranunculaceae Family - alkaloid aconitine, interacts with the voltage-gated sodium ion channels. In the muscles, aconitine potentiates contractions. It increases the permeability of the smooth muscle membrane to sodium ions, increasing calcium ion availability and, therefore, muscular contraction. In the neurons, aconitine depolarizes both the presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes by opening voltage-gated sodium ion channels.

23 Berberidaceae - The Barberry family
Berberis vulgaris - European barberry Mahonia aquifolium - Oregon grape

24 Isoquinoline alkaloid berberine – a fungicide, an antibiotic, against AIDS
