- T1 EP.10 — Early Eudicots: Buttercups and Poppies24 de novembro de 202128minNow, enter the largest group of flowering plants: the eudicots, which all form a good group because they all have a similar pollen structure. Professor Kleier discusses three families (Ranunculaceae, Berberidaceae, and Papaveraceae) and also shares the floral diagrams and formulas botanists use to remember plant family characteristics.Este vídeo está indisponível no momento.
- T1 EP.11 — Eudicots: Crassula, Euphorbs, and Willows24 de novembro de 202129minYou’ve already met some succulents in the Asperagaceae family, which includes agaves.

- T1 EP.12 — Eudicots: Peas and Beans24 de novembro de 202128minThe Fabaceae family is so diverse and so prevalent in the Northern Hemisphere that it deserves its own episode.
