Kubitzki system

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Kubitzki system is a

classification in Mabberley's Plant-Book, a dictionary of the vascular plants.[2] Mabberley
states, in his Introduction on page xi of the 2008 edition, that the Kubitzki system "has remained the standard to which other literature is compared".

In

molecular phylogenetic studies
.

The first volume of the series (Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms) covered

monocotyledons. Volumes 8–12 and 14 deal with eudicots
.

Because it is the result of a work in progress, the Kubitzki system is incomplete for those groups of

DNA sequences. The classification of ferns has been completely overhauled in that time.[4][5] And some of the gymnosperm families have been revised.[6][7]

For the flowering plants, the later volumes of the Kubitzki System follows the

APG III system), except for the recognition of smaller families. (For a complete listing of all volumes, see Klaus Kubitzki

In volumes 5,6,7,8 no groups above the taxonomic rank of order were recognized.

In volume 9 the supraordinal groups Rosidae and Asteridae were recognized.

In volume 10 are treated the Orders Sapindales and Cucurbitales; and the Myrtaceae Family (belonging to Myrtales).
