Information about Apg Ii System

A modern system of plant taxonomy, the APG II system of plant classification was published in 2003 by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, APG, in
Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (2003). An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG II. Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society 141: 399-436. (Available online: Abstract | Full text (HTML) | Full text (PDF))


The APG II system is the successor of the APG system. Each of these systems represents the broad consensus of a number of systematic botanists, united in the APG, working at several institutions worldwide.

The APG II system has proven to be influential and has been adopted in whole or in part (sometimes with modifications) in a number of recent references.

Main groups in the system (all unranked clades): In more detail (but excluding a dozen unplaced genera), with in the beginning of each listing some families or orders that are not placed in a further clade: Note: "+ ..." = optional segregrate family, that may be split off from the preceding family.
This list of systems of plant taxonomy presents “taxonomic systems” used in plant classification.

A is a coherent whole of taxonomic judgements on circumscription and placement of the considered taxa.

The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, or APG, refers to two international groups of systematic botanists who came together to try to establish a consensus view of the taxonomy of flowering plants that would reflect new knowledge in angiosperm relationships molecular systematics.

A modern system of plant taxonomy, the APG system of plant classification was published in 1998 by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. The system is unusual in being based, not on total evidence, but on the cladistic analysis of the DNA sequences of three genes, two chloroplast genes

Botany is the scientific study of plant life. As a branch of biology, it is also called plant science(s), phytology, or plant biology. Botany covers a wide range of scientific disciplines that study plants, algae, and fungi including: structure, growth,

In botanical nomenclature, a taxon is usually assigned to a rank in a hierarchy. The basic rank is that of species, and if an organism is named it most often will receive a species name.
