PHYLOGENY/CLASSIFICATION OF FLOWERING<br />
PLANT FAMILIES BASED ON THE ANGIOSPERM<br />
PHYLOGENY GROUP (APG II 2003)<br />
APPENDIX THREE<br />
This phylogeny/classification is based on the work <strong>of</strong> Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG II 2003). It<br />
differs from the Cronquist phylogeny (Appendix 2) in a number <strong>of</strong> ways including being based on<br />
molecular data and reflecting the influence <strong>of</strong> cladistics. Figure 174 (from Zanis et al. 2003) may be<br />
helpful in understanding some <strong>of</strong> the relationships presented here.<br />
