Name the classification systems
Artificial system of classification natural system of classification Phylogenetic system of classification
artificial system of classification is on the basis of
a few morphological characteristics
on what basis did Linnaeus classify angiosperms
on basis of androecium structure
proponents of artificial system of classification
Aristotle & Linnaeus
drawbacks of artificial system of classification
separated closely related species equal weightage to vegetative and sexual character
What was wrong in giving equal weightage to vegetative and sexual characters in artificial system of classification
vegetative characters were easily affected by the environment
natural system of classification is on the basis of
External and internal features (ultrastructure, anatomy, embryology and phytochemistry)
Proponents of natural system of classification
Benthem and Hooker
phylogenetic system of classification is on the basis of
evolutionary history
proponents of phylogenetic system of classification
Engler and Prantl, Hutchinson and Takhtajan
Types of taxonomy
Numerical taxonomy, cytotaxonomy and chemotaxonomy
Numerical taxonomy explain
+ , - , 0 Compares 100’s of characteristics while giving equal weightage
cytotaxonomy on the basis of
chromosome structure , number , and behavior
chemotaxonomy on the basis of
chemical constitution of plant
Plant kingdom divided into
Algae Bryophytes pteridophytes gymnosperms angiosperms
