    Basal angiosperms include three orders of plants that include only a few hundred species. Each order is not necessarily closely related to the other two but they are known to be evolutionarily distinct from the remaining basal angiosperms that belong to the Magnoliids. The order Amborellales has only a single species, Amborella trichopoda, an evergreen shrub that is found only in New Caledonia in the South Pacific.
    The remaining two orders from the basal angiosperms are the Austrobaileyales and the Nymphaeales. The order Nymphaeales includes a number of aquatic herbs including the water lilies and is the second oldest lineage of basal angiosperms after the order Amborellales. Chloranthales are not basal angiosperm.
