 Levels of Taxonomy Categories

1. Kingdom is the highest level in taxonomy

classification
2. Division is the 6th level in taxonomy
classification
3. We use suffix phyta for kingdom
Goals of Plant Systematic

1. Plant Identification
2. Plant Category
3. Plant Classification
 Evolution of the Kingdom Concept

1. Robert Harding Whittaker is the father of

modern taxonomy.
2. Protoctista includes algae and slime
molds.
3. Plants are sessile photosynthetic.
 Artificial Classification

1. Autotrophic plants can manufacture

their own food
2. Mesophytes require moderate supply
of salt water
3. Heterotrophic plants cannot
manufacture their own food
 Artificial Classification

1. Vines are climbing plants with soft or

hard stems.
2. Biennial plants complete their life cycle
within one season.
3. Perennials grow for several to many
years.
 Classification
Artificial, natural and phylogenetic relationship
Provide hypotheses about their evolutionary
relationships
 Plant
Classification
Taxonomy
-the science of classifying and naming plants.
-Seven classification of plants
kingdom, phylum or division, class, order, family, genus, and species
-Carl Linnaeus
Modern taxonomy
Mid 1700s
Naming plants
Scientific names
 Plant Taxonomy
Phylogeny- The history of the evolution of a species or
group

Taxonomists- Professionals who specialize in classifying

and sorting information of the plants
Goals of Plant Systematics
Plant identification- To identify plant by collected
specimen
Plant classification- To show some relationship with
known plants
Plant description- To formal introduce or to described
new discovery of plants.
 Kingdom
- A taxonomic rank composed of smaller groups
called phyla (or divisions, in plants).
Evolution • Carl Linnaeus (Carolus Linnaeus)
- Father of modern taxonomy
of the
- Two kingdoms were identified: Kingdom Plantae and
Kingdom Animalia.

Kingdom
• John Hogg
- Proposed the 3rd kingdom Protoctista in
1860.
Concept • Ernst Haeckel
-Proposed the 3rd kingdom Protista in
1866.
• Herbert Faulkner Copeland
- Proposed a four kingdoms classification in 1938.
- Monera
• Robert Harding Whittaker
- Proposed the five-kingdom classification
in the year 1969.
- Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia
• Six Kingdoms
- Produced by Carl Woese
- Kingdom Archaebacteria, Kingdom Eubacteria, Kingdom Protista,
Kingdom Fungi, Kingdom Plantae, and Kingdom Animalia.
 Eight kingdoms
- Kingdom Archezoa, and Kingdom Chromista
 Artificial Classification

- Mainly based on the morphological characters, non-

evolutionary features.
 Artificial Classification

BASED ON TYPE BASED ON WATER BASED ON HABITANT

OF NUTRITION REQUIREMENT

a. Autotrophic plants a. Mesophytes a. Aquatic plants

can manufacture their require moderate supply of water - live in water
own food b. Xerophytes
can withstand very little water b. Terrestial plants
b. Heterotrophic plants c. Hydrophytes - live on land
cannot manufacture their require abundant supply of water c. Aerial plants
own food d. Halophytes - live attached to other plants
require water with high salt content
 Artificial Classification

BASED ON BODY BASED ON LIFE SPAN

APPEARANCE
Annuals
Trees - woody plants with a single main stem -One season
-Rice, corn
Shrubs - with short main stem giving off many branches
Biennials
Herbs - soft-stem plants -Vegetatively during first
season
Vines - climbing plants -Carrot, Parsley
Perennials
-Several to many years
-Mango
 Natural Classification

A classification that reflects a natural order

supposed to exist and be discovered by science
