Everything about Cronquist System totally explained
A
system of plant taxonomy, the
Cronquist system is a scheme for the classification of flowering plants (or
angiosperms). This system was developed by
Arthur Cronquist (1919-1992) in his texts
An Integrated System of Classification of Flowering Plants (1981) and
The Evolution and Classification of Flowering Plants (1968; 2nd edition, 1988).
Cronquist's system places flowering plants into two broad classes,
Magnoliopsida (
dicotyledons) and
Liliopsida (
monocotyledons). Within these classes, related orders are grouped into subclasses.
The scheme is still widely used, in either the original form or in adapted versions, but many botanists are adopting the
Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants:
APG II.
The system as laid out in
An Integrated System of Classification of Flowering Plants (1981) counts 321 families and 64 orders:
