Classification of Ferns, Gymnosperms, and Flowering Plants
Jesse L. Saylor, Department of Horticulture
Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824
Scientific Names (Genus, species, cultivar) follow Hortus Third(1976) and The New Royal Horticultural Society Dictionary of Gardening(1992) unless otherwise indicated. Common Names have been selected from a variety of sources including Hortus Third.
Higher taxa (Divisions, classes, subclasses, etc.) follow Cronquist, Takhtajan, and Zimmerman(1966) with subdivision and class endings modified in accordance with the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature(Greuter, 1994). Subdivision endings are changed from -icae to -phytina, and Class endings are changed from -atae to -opsida.
Pteridophyte (Fern and Fern Allies) families follow Vascular Plant Families and Genera(Brummitt,1992) with the order of the families adapted from Crabbe, Jermy, and Mickel(1975). Changes from The Flora of North America(1993-), and Kubitzki(1990) may also be indicated. The family list in Brummitt(1992) is only alphabetical and does not reflect the relationships between families. Common names of families are usually from Lellinger(1985).
Gymnosperm (Conifer) families follow A. Engler's Syllabus der Pflanzenfamilien (Melchior and Werdermann, 1954). Changes from The Flora of North America(1993-), and Kubitzki(1990) may also be indicated.
Angiosperm (Flowering plant) Families follow An Integrated System of Classification of Flowering Plants (Cronquist,1981) unless indicated otherwise. Common names of families are usually from Cronquist(1981). Changes from Cronquist(1988), The Flora of North America (1993-), and Kubitzki(1993) may also be indicated.
