Information:  - The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, or APG, refers to an informal international group of systematic botanists who came together to try to establish a consensus on the taxonomy of flowering plants (angiosperms) that would reflect new knowledge about plant relationships discovered through phylogenetic studies.  - Monocotyledons, commonly referred to as monocots, (Lilianae "sensu" Chase & Reveal) are flowering plants (angiosperms) whose seeds typically contain only one embryonic leaf, or cotyledon. They constitute one of the major groups into which the flowering plants have traditionally been divided, the rest of the flowering plants having two cotyledons and therefore classified as dicotyledons, or dicots. However, molecular phylogenetic research has shown that while the monocots form a monophyletic group or clade (comprising all the descendants of a common ancestor), the dicots do not. Monocots have almost always been recognized as a group, but with various taxonomic ranks and under several different names. The APG III system of 2009 recognises a clade called "monocots" but does not assign it to a taxonomic rank.  - The dicotyledons, also known as dicots (or more rarely dicotyls), were one of the two groups into which all the flowering plants or angiosperms were formerly divided. The name refers to one of the typical characteristics of the group, namely that the seed has two embryonic leaves or cotyledons. There are around 200,000 species within this group. The other group of flowering plants were called monocotyledons or monocots, typically having one cotyledon. Historically, these two groups formed the two divisions of the flowering plants.  - The Cronquist system is a taxonomic classification system of flowering plants. It was developed by Arthur Cronquist in his texts "An Integrated System of Classification of Flowering Plants" (1981) and "The Evolution and Classification of Flowering Plants" (1968; 2nd edition, 1988). Cronquist's system places flowering plants into two broad classes, Magnoliopsida (dicotyledons) and Liliopsida (monocotyledons). Within these classes, related orders are grouped into subclasses. While the scheme was widely used, in either the original form or in adapted versions, many botanists now use the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants, first developed in 1998. The system as laid out in Cronquist's "An Integrated System of Classification of Flowering Plants" (1981) counts 64 orders and 321 families in class Magnoliopsida and 19 orders and 65 families in class Liliopsida.  - Magnoliopsida is a valid botanical name for a class of flowering plants. By definition the class will include the family Magnoliaceae, but its circumscription can otherwise vary, being more inclusive or less inclusive depending upon the classification system being discussed.  - Arthur John Cronquist (March 19, 1919  March 22, 1992) was a United States biologist, botanist and a specialist on Compositae. He is considered one of the most influential botanists of the 20th century, largely due to his formulation of the Cronquist system. Two plant genera in the aster family have been named in his honor. These are "Cronquistia", a possible synonym of "Carphochaete", and "Cronquistianthus", which is sometimes included as a group within "Eupatorium". The former was applied by R.M. King and the latter by him and Harold E. Robinson.  - Mistletoe is the common name for most obligate hemiparasitic plants in the order Santalales. Mistletoes attach to and penetrate the branches of a tree or shrub by a structure called the haustorium, through which they absorb water and nutrients from the host plant.  - Liliopsida (synonym: Liliatae) is a botanical name for the class containing the family Liliaceae (or Lily Family). It is considered synonymous (or nearly synonymous) with the name monocotyledon. Publication of the name is credited to Scopoli (in 1760): see author citation (botany). This name is formed by replacing the termination "-aceae" in the name Liliaceae by the termination "-opsida" (Art 16 of the ICBN).  - The Viscaceae are a family of flowering plants . In past decades , several systems of plant taxonomy recognized this family , notably the 1981 Cronquist system . In this circumscription , the family includes the several genera of mistletoes . However , the APG II system of 2003 does not recognize the family , treating it as a synonym of Santalaceae . Genera once treated as belonging to family Viscaceae include : Arceuthobium Dendrophthora Ginalloa Korthalsella Notothixos Phoradendron Viscum    After reading the paragraphs above, we are interested in knowing the entity with which 'viscaceae' exhibits the relationship of 'parent taxon'. Find the answer from the choices below.  Choices: - angiosperms  - carphochaete  - cotyledon  - cronquistianthus  - liliaceae  - lilianae  - liliopsida  - magnoliopsida  - monocots  - plant  - santalales
