The Clickable Taxonomic Tree of the Plant Kingdom.
|
Welcome to plantkingdom.com!plantkingdom.com is a brief introduction into the taxonomic world of the plant kingdom. The plant kingdom taxonomic tree in its most basic form is divided into the cellular plants (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, etc.) and into the vascular plants. The vascular plants are further divided into the spore producing plants and the seed producing plants. Those are the 3 primary divisions that plantkingdom.com deals with, each of which breaks down into hundreds of further divisions.The plant kingdom was originally classified according to a plant's flowering morphology (known as the Cronquist Classification System.) As genetic mapping takes hold the plant kingdom is slowly being restructured as new data becomes available according to genetic similarities between plants. This new classification system is known as APG II 2003 (the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for orders and families of flowering plants.) plantkingdom.com is built on available information in a Cronquist type taxonomic tree with updates and modifications as necessary according to the APG II 2003 system. All taxonomic information in this site is for your enjoyment only and is not scientifically accurate for academic purposes. Information on this site is from data that is generally accepted as accurate during the 2000-2005 timeframe. Other

The site originated from my interest in how plants are inter-related, but has grown to include a plant sales division. The site has also become a repository for my stray thoughts and bits of data that come my way. Feel free to take your time and dig around! |
