Taxonomy

[Carl Linnaeus] (1707-1778) is known as the father of modern taxonomy, which today uses the familiar heirarchy of:

  • Kingdom
    • Phylum
      • Class
        • Order
          • Family
            • Genus
              • Species

Kingdom

Used to be Animal, Plant

Phylum

Class

Choices are:

  • Angiosperms - flowering plants
  • Gymnosperms - non-flowering plants

Some articles about angiosperms:

  1. Here's an article on plant classification that starts at Class: http://theseedsite.co.uk/class.html.
  2. And here's one from MoBot on angiosperm (flowering plant) phlogeny.
  3. Here's a TAMU website about 4 classification systems for flowering plants.
