===Dahlgren and Thorne systems===
Under the Dahlgren and Thorne systems, the [[Subclass (biology)|subclass]] name ''Magnoliidae'' was used for the dicotyledons. This is also the case in some of the systems derived from the Cronquist system.{{cn|date=June 2024}} These two systems are contrasted in the table below in terms of how each categorises by superorder; note that the sequence within each system has been altered in order to pair corresponding taxa

The [[Thorne system (1992)|Thorne system (1992) as depicted by Reveal]] is:

There exist variances between the superorders [[Circumscription (taxonomy)|circumscribed]] from each system. Namely, although the systems share common names for many of the listed superorders, the specific list orders classified within each varies. For example, Thorne's ''Theanae'' corresponds to five distinct superorders under Dahlgren's system, only one of which is called ''Theanae.''{{Clear}}
