PHYLOGENY OF THE FLOWERING PLANTS (PEARSON, 1995)

This is a diagram of the phylogenetic relationships of 49 orders within the flowering plants according to the system of Cronquist (1981). Dotted lines indicate the bounds of the orders within particular subclasses (indicated by capitolized abbreviations). A heavy line indicates the boundary between the monocots and dicots.
