Perhaps, most of the time, if not always, what actually makes plants attractive to common men is the presence of budding flowers. However, not all organisms under the kingdom Plantae bear flowers. Nevertheless, in the vast taxonomy of plants, there is one class that is composed of flowering plants, the Magnoliopsida. Moreover, the latter is more commonly known with the name angiosperm, in which the main feature is the flower that is responsible for the development of seeds for reproduction. In addition to this, this class is so diverse that there are several known species under this. As a matter of fact it is the largest group of embryophytes, with at least 260,000 living species classified in 453 families (Soltis & Soltis, 2004). Yet there are still some that remain unidentified. This report centers on some of the most common species under the class Magnoliopsida, also known as the flowering plants. Moreover, at the end of this report, the reproduction of flowering plants, including their methods of pollination will be explained further
