Rosales: differentiation from the Asterales

The plants of the Rosidea and Asteridae Superorders have mania and stupor in common.

The core states of stupor or mania can extend to estrangement, misanthropy, contempt and violence in the Rosidae. The Rosidae are extremely violent and very defensive. Many have thorns as a defence strategy. Ricin, the most deadly poison in this Superorder comes from the Euphorbiaceae. It has been used for the most henous and warlike purposes.

The Asteridae exhibit a selfishness and sensitivity that turns to excitement and hysteria. They tend to use paralysing poisons as a defence mechanism. The result, which is the opposite polarity of sensitivity and hysteria, is a dreamy state where mental exertion is impossible.
