TAXONOMY |
Where the earlier taxonomy systems have been based on the look of the sex organs of the plants, like Carl Linnaeus suggested in 1753, or other characteristics, the new science open up for a more accurate image of the relationship between the plants through DNA. This is the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group's second approach, the first can be seen on: APG. The next in line is APG III The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group is using this new information to create a more accurate taxonomic system, based on the evolution of the plants. Below are the major groups, but visit their site at Mobot to see the latest developments. It organizes flowering plants into a "selected number of monophyletic suprafamilial groups". |
