Description
Summary:<abstract language="eng">Corniflorae (sensu Dahlgren, 1980) is a superorder of the Angiospermae formed by the orders Fouquieriales, Ericales, Eucommiales, Sarraceniales, Cornales and Dipsacales, comprising 50 families with more than 7000 cosmopolitan species. Many of these species are used in tradicional medicine and some of them had their pharmacological activities confirmed. The chemistry of these plants is very diversified. Iridoids, triterpenoids and flavonoids were used as taxonomic markers.
