The '''superrosids''' are members of a large [clade](/source/clade) ([monophyletic](/source/monophyly) group) of [flowering plant](/source/flowering_plant)s, containing more than 88,000 [species](/source/species),{{r|wang2009}} and thus more than a quarter of all angiosperms.{{r|scotland2003}}

The clade is divided into 18 [orders](/source/Order_(biology)) as defined in [APG IV system](/source/APG_IV_system). These orders, in turn, together comprise about 155 [families](/source/Family_(taxonomy)).{{r|APG4}}

The name is based upon the name "[Rosidae](/source/Rosidae)", which had usually been understood to be a subclass.

== Relationships ==
The rosids and Saxifragales form the superrosids clade.{{r|apweb}} This is one of three groups that compose the [Pentapetalae](/source/Pentapetalae) ([core eudicots](/source/core_eudicots) minus [Gunnerales](/source/Gunnerales)),{{r|cantino2007}} the others being [Dilleniales](/source/Dilleniales) and the [superasterids](/source/superasterids) ([Berberidopsidales](/source/Berberidopsidales), [Caryophyllales](/source/Caryophyllales), [Santalales](/source/Santalales), and [asterids](/source/asterids)).{{r|apweb}}

== Phylogeny ==
The [phylogeny](/source/phylogeny) of superrosids shown below is adapted from the [Angiosperm Phylogeny Group](/source/Angiosperm_Phylogeny_Group) website.{{r|apweb}}
