The '''malvids''' consist of eight orders of flowering plants: Brassicales, Crossosomatales, Geraniales, Huerteales, Malvales, Myrtales, Picramniales and Sapindales.{{efn-la|The taxonomy (classification) in this list follows ''Plants of the World'' (2017){{sfn|Christenhusz|Fay|Chase|2017}} and the fourth Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system.{{sfn|Angiosperm Phylogeny Group|2016}} Total counts of genera for each family come from ''Plants of the World Online'' (POWO).{{sfn|POWO}} (See the [https://www.kew.org/science/collections-and-resources/data-and-digital/terms-of-use POWO license].)

The mustard family includes broccoli, turnips, mustards, and radishes.{{sfn|Christenhusz|Fay|Chase|2017|pp=415–419}} The ornamental geraniums, and their many hybrids and cultivars, come from five species of ''Pelargonium''.{{sfn|Christenhusz|Fay|Chase|2017|pp=342–343}} The mallow family includes the plants that yield cocoa beans, ''Cola'' nuts, okra, cotton and jute.{{sfn|Christenhusz|Fay|Chase|2017|pp=388–393}} In the family Lythraceae, Pomegranates were cultivated by Bronze Age cultures, and wild water chestnuts were consumed in large quantities by prehistoric Europeans.{{sfn|Christenhusz|Fay|Chase|2017|p=347}} ''Eucalyptus'' trees are the tallest known flowering plants, up to {{convert|100|m|abbr=on}} or more; they are grown for timber and for their oils, used in candy, perfumes and cough medicine.{{sfn|Christenhusz|Fay|Chase|2017|pp=352–353}} Mangos and cashews come from the same plant family as poison ivy, and can sometimes trigger allergic reactions.{{sfn|Christenhusz|Fay|Chase|2017|p=370–371}} Canada produces most of the world's maple syrup, and the maple leaf is the country's national symbol.{{sfn|Christenhusz|Fay|Chase|2017|p=374}} Citrus agriculture outranks other sweet-fruit industries in warm climates.{{sfn|Christenhusz|Fay|Chase|2017|p=375}}
==Glossary==
From the glossary of botanical terms: *annual: a plant species that completes its life cycle within a single year or growing season *basal: attached close to the base (of a plant or an evolutionary tree diagram) *climber: a vine that leans on, twines around or clings to other plants for vertical support *deciduous: falling seasonally, as with bark, leaves, or petals *glandular hair: a hair tipped with a secretory structure *herbaceous: not woody; usually green and soft in texture *mangrove: any shrub or small tree growing in brackish or salt water *perennial: not an annual or biennial *succulent (adjective): juicy or fleshy *unisexual: of one sex; bearing only male or only female reproductive organs *woody: hard and lignified; not herbaceous{{sfn|Christenhusz|Fay|Chase|2017|pp=638–670}}
The APG IV system is the fourth in a series of plant taxonomies from the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group.{{sfn|Angiosperm Phylogeny Group|2016}} In this system, Geraniales and Myrtales are basal within the malvids.{{sfn|Christenhusz|Fay|Chase|2017|pp=10,342–345}}
