  1. BENTHAM AND HOOKER’S SYSTEM OF ANGIOSPERM CLASSIFICATION Submitted by: Dr. Geetanjali, Assistant Professor, Botany Department, Government College for Girls, Sector-11,Chandigarh.

  2. INTRODUCTION • Classification denotes the arrangement of a single plant or group of plants an distinct category following a system of nomenclature, and in accordance with a particular and well established plan. • Some of the earlier systems of classification of angiosperms were artificial systems, since they used only certain superficial characteristics as the basis. • With more and more detailed study on the morphological, physiological and reproductive aspects of angiosperms, the artificial systems of classifications were replaced by the naturalsystems of classification.

  3. George Bentham and Joseph Dalton Hooker - Two English taxonomists who were closely associated with the Royal Botanical Garden at Kew, England have given a detailed classification of plant kingdom, particularly the angiosperms. • They gave an outstanding system of classification of phanerogams in their Genera Plantarum which was published in three volumes between the years 1862 to 1883. It is a natural system of classification. • They described 97,205 species of flowering plants grouped into 202 orders (now recognised as families). • The system has the advantage of being the first great natural system of classification, which is very easy to follow.

  27. DRAWBACKS • Gymnosperms were placed between Dicots and Monocots. • Many important floral characters were neglected. • It is not a phylogenetic scheme. • Some of the closely related families have been separated and placed under different cohotrs and a number of unrelated families put together. • Some advanced families like Orchidaceae have been regarded as primitive by placing in the beginning.
