Consolidating information on the principles of plant systematics, this book provides detailed discussions on all major systems of classification, highlighting selected families of vascular plants without sacrificing the focus on basic principles. It includes those families with wide representation as well as those less popular yet still significant in the evaluation of the phylogeny of angiosperms. With liberal citation of molecular data, the book pays considerable attention to the phylogenetic relationships of families as ...

Consolidating information on the principles of plant systematics, this book provides detailed discussions on all major systems of classification, highlighting selected families of vascular plants without sacrificing the focus on basic principles. It includes those families with wide representation as well as those less popular yet still significant in the evaluation of the phylogeny of angiosperms. With liberal citation of molecular data, the book pays considerable attention to the phylogenetic relationships of families as evidenced by recent cladistic studies. The current volume includes several additional families for comparative discussion.
