Calyciflorae is a grouping of plants that is no longer used by botanists. Augustin Pyramus de Candolle defined it as a subclass within the class Dicotyledoneae. It overlapped largely with the modern Rosids group. The group Calyciflorae was defined as:

  • Flowers with sepals united at least at the base (gamosepalous), a "torus" (disc) at the base of the calyx from which the petals and stamens appear to emerge, the ovary either free or attached to the calyx.{{citation |url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/7151#page/6/mode/1up |title=Prodromus systematis naturalis regni vegetabilis |volume=2 |year=1825 |author=Augustin Pyramus de Candolle}}
