The palaeodicotyledons ("ancient dicots") comprise the basal dicots, i.e. those flowering plants that do not belong to either the monocots or the eudicots. In some newer classifications, the eudicots are treated as a separate class Rosopsida, in which case the palaeodicots are grouped as a paraphyletic class Magnoliopsida or further divided into several classes.
