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.

The asterids, Berberidopsidales, Santalales, and Caryophyllales form the superasterids clade.

[2] This is one of three groups that compose the Pentapetalae (core eudicots minus Gunnerales),[3] the others being Dilleniales and the superrosids (Saxifragales and rosids).
