The most prevalent classification of flowers still seems to be Cronquist, but new findings have invalidated many of the groupings. Here Judd et al are followed as one of the more prevalent of the revised schemes. Hopefully notes on the differences between the various versions will be added where possible. See also flower?s, fruit, vegetable?s, herbs, spices, trees, and other groupings of convenience. |
Still in progress, but this is roughly what the final version will look like. In a few days I'm going to put in some family synopses, plus notes on where groups have gone relative to the more traditional classification schemes this has replaced, and maybe some revisions to the above orders too. |
