The evolution and classification of flowering plants. New York Botanical Garden. ISBN 978-0-89327-332-3. {}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list A. Cronquist (1981). An integrated system of classification of flowering plants. Columbia University Press. ISBN 978-0-231-03880-5.
The Takhtajan system and Cronquist system treat them as a division (Magnoliophyta). [citation needed] The Dahlgren system and Thorne system (1992) treat them as a class (Magnoliopsida). The APG system of 1998, and the later 2003 [7] and 2009 [8] revisions, treat the flowering plants as an unranked clade without a formal Latin name (angiosperms ...
Pragmatic classification (and functional [40] and teleological classification) is the classification of items which emphasis the goals, purposes, consequences, [41] interests, values and politics of classification. It is, for example, classifying animals into wild animals, pests, domesticated animals and pets.
The systematist, a scientist who specializes in systematics, must, therefore, be able to use existing classification systems, or at least know them well enough to skilfully justify not using them. Phenetics was an attempt to determine the relationships of organisms through a measure of overall similarity, making no distinction between ...
A system of plant taxonomy, the Thorne system of plant classification was devised by the American botanist Robert F. Thorne (1920–2015) in 1968, [1] and he continued to issue revisions over many years (1968–2007).
His 2004 classification treated the archaeobacteria as part of a subkingdom of the kingdom Bacteria, i.e., he rejected the three-domain system entirely. [72] Stefan Luketa in 2012 proposed a five "dominion" system, adding Prionobiota (acellular and without nucleic acid) and Virusobiota (acellular but with nucleic acid) to the traditional three ...
Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778), who established the binomial system of plant nomenclature. Systema Naturæ was Linnaeus's early attempt to organise nature. [7] The first edition was published in 1735 and in it he outlines his ideas for the hierarchical classification of the natural world (the "system of nature") by dividing it into the animal kingdom (Regnum animale), the plant kingdom (Regnum ...
Botanical nomenclature is the formal, scientific naming of plants. It is related to, but distinct from taxonomy. Plant taxonomy is concerned with grouping and classifying plants; botanical nomenclature then provides names for the results of this process.
