The superasterids are members of a large clade (monophyletic group) of flowering plants, containing more than 122,000 species.[citation needed]
The clade is divided into 20 orders as defined in APG IV system. These orders, in turn, together comprise about 146 families.[1]
The name is based upon the name "Asteridae", which had usually been understood to be a subclass.
