Fully Annotated Systems of Flowering Plant Classification

[jr19]

As this is the season of gift giving, a minor one is presented ....

Although I had not planned to release this information until the start
of spring classes, fully annotated treatments of Cronquist, Dahlgren and
Thorne's systems of classification in electronic format are available:

Cronquist: http://www.inform.umd.edu:8080/PBIO/pb250/cron1.html
Dahlgren: http://www.inform.umd.edu:8080/PBIO/pb250/dahl1.html
Thorne: http://www.inform.umd.edu:8080/PBIO/pb250/thor1.html

The present treatment for Thorne does NOT reflect a series of changes he has
mentioned to me over the past few months.

This information has been available via the following site for nearly a
year; the data at this site are dynamic and the systems may be search in
whole or in part as desired:

see in particular the last of the four databases.
