The scientific classification of the sunflower:

  • Domain: Eukaryota (multicellular organism with nucleus)
  • Kingdom: Plantae
  • Subkingdom: Tracheobionta (vascular plants)
  • Superdivision: Spermatophyta (seed plants)
  • Division: Magnoliophyts (flowering plants)
  • Class: Magnoliopsida (dicotyledon)
  • Subclass: Asteridae
  • Order: Asterales
  • Family: Asteraceae (aka Compositae -- Asters)
  • Subfamily: Helianthoideae (sunflower)
  • Tribe: Heliantheae
  • Genus: Helianthus
  • Species: H. annuus
Eudicots means "true dicots" and as a modern dicot, the sunflower is certainly considered a eudicot with its net-veined leaves and two cotyledons in the seed.
