Question: While Myrsine refers to flowering plants, what type of plants are the Asphodelus?
Context: Magnolia virginiana, most commonly known as sweetbay magnolia, or merely sweetbay (also laurel magnolia, swampbay, swamp magnolia, whitebay, or beaver tree), is a member of the magnolia family, Magnoliaceae.  It was the first magnolia to be scientifically described under modern rules of botanical nomenclature, and is the type species of the genus "Magnolia"; as "Magnolia" is also the type genus of all flowering plants (magnoliophytes), this species in a sense typifies all flowering plants. The term pollen source is often used in the context of beekeeping and refers to flowering plants as a source of pollen for bees or other insects.  Bees collect pollen as a protein source to raise their brood.  For the plant, the pollinizer, this can be an important mechanism for sexual reproduction, as the pollinator distributes its pollen.  Few flowering plants self-pollinate; some can provide their own pollen (self fertile), but require a pollinator to move the pollen; others are dependent on cross pollination from a genetically different source of viable pollen, through the activity of pollinators.  One of the possible pollinators to assist in cross-pollination are honeybees.  The article below is mainly about the pollen source from a beekeeping perspective. Chloranthaceae is a family of flowering plants (angiosperms), the only family in the order Chloranthales.  It is not closely related to any other family of flowering plants, and is among the early-diverging lineages in the angiosperms.  They are woody or weakly woody plants occurring in Southeast Asia, the Pacific, Madagascar, Central and South America, and the West Indies.  The family consists of four extant genera, totalling about 77 known species according to Christenhusz and Byng in 2016.  Some species are used in traditional medicine.  The type genus is "Chloranthus". Ardisia (coralberry or marlberry) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Primulaceae.  It was in the former Myrsinaceae family now recognised as the myrsine sub-family Myrsinoideae.  They are distributed in the Americas, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands, mainly in the tropics.  There are 400 to 500 species. Asphodelus is a genus of mainly perennial plants first described for modern science in 1753.  The genus is native to temperate Europe, the Mediterranean, Africa, the Middle East, and the Indian Subcontinent, and now naturalized in other places (New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, southwestern United States, etc.). Myrsine is a genus of flowering plants in the family Primulaceae.  It was formerly placed in the family Myrsinaceae before this was merged into the Primulaceae.  It is found nearly worldwide, primarily in tropical and subtropical areas.  It contains about 200 species, including several notable radiations, such as the matipo of New Zealand and the kōlea of Hawaiʻ i (the New Zealand "black matipo", "Pittosporum tenuifolium", is not related to "Myrsine").  In the United States, members of this genus are known as colicwood.  Some species, especially "M. africana", are grown as ornamental shrubs. Eucrypta is a genus of flowering plants containing only two species.  The genus name "Eucrypta" means "well-hidden", which refers to the seeds being "hidden" in the small green bristled fruits.  The two species are known generally as hideseeds.  They are both native to the southwestern United States.  These are small, weedy-looking annual plants with sticky, aromatic green foliage.  The leaves are strongly lobed and look somewhat like fern fronds.  Some plants have very few leaves and are mostly stems bearing flowers and fruits.  The small flowers are bell-shaped and may be white or a light shade of pink or purple.  These are among the first plants to spring up after an area has been cleared by fire. The dicotyledons, also known as dicots (or more rarely dicotyls), were one of the two groups into which all the flowering plants or angiosperms were formerly divided.  The name refers to one of the typical characteristics of the group, namely that the seed has two embryonic leaves or cotyledons.  There are around 200,000 species within this group.  The other group of flowering plants were called monocotyledons or monocots, typically having one cotyledon.  Historically, these two groups formed the two divisions of the flowering plants. Autogamy, or self-fertilization, refers to the fusion of two gametes that come from one individual.  Autogamy is predominantly observed in the form of self-pollination, a reproductive mechanism employed by many flowering plants.  However, species of protists have also been observed using autogamy as a means of reproduction.  Flowering plants engage in autogamy regularly, while the protists that engage in autogamy only do so in stressful environments. Apiaceae or Umbelliferae, is a family of mostly aromatic flowering plants named after the type genus "Apium" and commonly known as the celery, carrot or parsley family.  It is the 16th-largest family of flowering plants, with more than 3,700 species in 434 genera including such well-known and economically important plants such as angelica, anise, asafoetida, caraway, carrot, celery, chervil, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, hemlock, lovage, cow parsley, parsley, parsnip, sea holly, giant hogweed and silphium (a plant whose identity is unclear and which may be extinct).
