campanulid

The term "campanulid" refers to a group of flowering plants, specifically within the eudicots. This clade includes several orders, such as Apiales, Aquifoliales, Asterales, Bruniales, Dipsacales, Escalloniales, and Paracryphiales. A prominent family within the campanulids is Campanulaceae, commonly known as the bellflower family. These plants are typically herbaceous with showy, often blue, bell-shaped flowers. Many species are cultivated as garden ornamentals. The family name comes from the genus Campanula, which includes about 400 species of perennial herbs. Other notable genera include Adenophora (ladybell) and Lobelia. The former family Lobeliaceae is now considered a subfamily within Campanulaceae. It is important to note that "Campanulariidae" refers to a family of marine hydrozoan polyps, not a plant clade.123
