[edit] System

What system is followed? If Crohnquist is not followed, why all this messing about with him ?? GerardM 06:25, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

As for the flowering plants in general, the angiosperm phylogeny group is followed. Differences with Cronquist are noted because it's still commonly used, and a number of people were against switching away from it.

And what's the meaning of Caryophyllales? This is an encyclopedia, isn't it? I don't find any explanation about the origin, meaning and history of this term: Caryophyllales... same in german --katpatuka 14:00, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
