  • Towards a Management Hierarchy (Classification) for the Catalogue of Life
    TOWARDS A MANAGEMENT HIERARCHY (CLASSIFICATION) FOR THE CATALOGUE OF LIFE Draft Discussion Document Rationale The Catalogue of Life partnership, comprising Species 2000 and ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System), has the goal of achieving a comprehensive catalogue of all known species on Earth by the year 2011. The actual number of described species (after correction for synonyms) is not presently known but estimates suggest about 1.8 million species. The collaborative teams behind the Catalogue of Life need an agreed standard classification for these 1.8 million species, i.e. a working hierarchy for management purposes. This discussion document is intended to highlight some of the issues that need clarifying in order to achieve this goal beyond what we presently have. Concerning Classification Life’s diversity is classified into a hierarchy of categories. The best-known of these is the Kingdom. When Carl Linnaeus introduced his new “system of nature” in the 1750s ― Systema Naturae per Regna tria naturae, secundum Classes, Ordines, Genera, Species …) ― he recognised three kingdoms, viz Plantae, Animalia, and a third kingdom for minerals that has long since been abandoned. As is evident from the title of his work, he introduced lower-level taxonomic categories, each successively nested in the other, named Class, Order, Genus, and Species. The most useful and innovative aspect of his system (which gave rise to the scientific discipline of Systematics) was the use of the binominal, comprising genus and species, that uniquely identified each species of organism. Linnaeus’s system has proven to be robust for some 250 years. The starting point for botanical names is his Species Plantarum, published in 1753, and that for zoological names is the tenth edition of the Systema Naturae published in 1758.

    Course: B.Sc Botany SEMESTER IV PAPER CODE: BOT CC 410 PAPER: Plant Systematics TOPIC: Bentham and Hooker's system of classification FACULTY: Isha Gaurav Department of Botany Email: [email protected] Bentham and Hooker's system of classification It is a natural system of classification and is based on important characters of the plants. Even today this system is being followed in India, United Kingdom and several other Commonwealth countries. It is also used in a number of herbaria and botanical gardens all over the world. It is a well known and widely accepted classification of seeded plants. It was proposed by two English botanists George Bentham (1800-1884) and Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817- 1911). Their system of classification was published in 'Genera Plantarum' in three volumes and they had described 97,205 species of seeded plants in 202 orders (now referred to as families). In Bentham and Hooker's classification of plants, the present day 'orders' were referred to as 'cohorts' and 'families' as 'orders'. The seeded plants are divided into three classes 'Dicotyledonae,Gymnospermae and Monocotyledonae. Class I Dicotyledonae: Seeds of dicotyledonous plants contain two cotyledons. Leaves show reticulate venation. Flowers are tetramerous or pentamerous having four or five members in various floral whorls respectively. It includes three sub-classes ' Polypetalae, Gamopetalae and Monochlamydeae. Sub-class I Polypetalae:Plants having flowers with free petals come under polypetalae. The flowers are with distinct calyx and corolla. It is further divided into three series - Thalamiflorae, Disciflorae and Calyciflorae. Series (i) Thalamiflorae:It includes plants having flowers with dome or conical thalamus.

This was the greatest taxonomic work ever produced in the united kingdom and ever since been an inspiration to generations of kew botanists . Although Bentham and Hooker’s system of classification was based on that of A.P. de Candolle but greater stress was given on contrast between free and fused petals . Their symptom was widely accepted in Britain and commonwealth countries but in Europe and North America it did not hold the much ground . Bentham and Hooker divided the seed plants into Dicotyledons, Gymnosperms and Monocotyledons. They placed Ranales in beginning and grasses at the end .

India has a coastline of 8,118 km, with an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of 2.02 million sq km and a continental shelf area of 468,000 sq km, spread across 10 coastal States and seven Union Territories, including the islands of Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep. Indian coastal waters are extremely diverse attributing to the geomorphologic and climatic variations along the coast. The coastal and marine habitat includes near shore, gulf waters, creeks, tidal flats, mud flats, coastal dunes, mangroves, marshes, wetlands, seaweed and seagrass beds, deltaic plains, estuaries, lagoons and coral reefs. There are four major coral reef areas in India-along the coasts of the Andaman and Nicobar group of islands, the Lakshadweep group of islands, the Gulf of Mannar and the Gulf of Kachchh . The Andaman and Nicobar group is the richest in terms of diversity.

  • Paper 03,Group B;BENTHAM and HOOKER SYSTEM of CLASSIFICATION,Dr.Dilip Kumar Jha, (Lecture Series No
    BOTANY,Degrre 2(H. ),Paper 03,group B;BENTHAM AND HOOKER SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION,Dr.Dilip Kumar Jha, (lecture series No. 08). Among all the natural system of classification,the system jointly proposed by George Bentham (1800_1884) and Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817_1911) has gained much popularity. Both of them were working in Royal Botanical Garden,Kew,England. They jointly published their natural system in three volume of Genera Plantarum (1862_1883) In which all the genera of seed plants known upto that time,were described and classified on the basis of all available natural characters or affinities. In their classification they described 97205 species of 7569 genera belonging to 202 families of Angiosperm under 40 orders and 15 series. This system is based on that of A.P.deCandole but its text differs from latter system. Important Features of the System: 1. This was the last natural system and was not affected by concept of evolution,although it was proposed after publication of Darwin’s theory of evolution. 2. They have placed Gymnosperm between two groups (Dicot and Monocot ) of Angiosperm. 3. They have replaced the term order and family by Cohorts and Natural Orders respectively. 4. In their system,every genus was studied anew;the materials were made available from the British and continental herbaria. OUTLINE OF THE CLASSIFICATION Kingdom:PLANTAE Subkingdom: 1.CRYPTOGAMIA Subkingdom: 2.PHANEROGAMIA or SPERMATOPHYTA. Cryptogamia includes all the flower less plants whereas Spermatophyta includes all the flowering plants which bear seed. Subkingdom Phanerogamia has been divided into one Groups/Divisions: 1.DICOTYLEDONAE 2.GYMNOSPERMAE 3.MONOCOTYLEDONAE All the groups have been further divided into Classes,classes into series ,series into Cohorts and cohorts into Natural orders.

  • Nomenclature and Taxonomy
    c01.qxd 8/18/03 4:06 PM Page 5 1 NOMENCLATURE AND TAXONOMY Nomenclature (Scientific ● Common) When casually discussing nature, whether verbally or in print, we typi- cally use pretty informal language. Simple, everyday terms for plants and animals are more than adequate for expressing ourselves. We do not talk about Malus and Citrus sinensis (taxonomic terms) when referring to apples and oranges because it is simply not effective communication. However, we do use such terms when we want to make specific scientific distinctions—say, between the prairie crab apple, which botanists identify as Malus ioensis, and the sweet crab apple, which they have designated Malus coronaria. Because this book deals with differences, many of them technical and somewhat detailed, the reader will encounter quite a few such scientific names, some of which may appear not only needlessly elaborate but also virtually unpronounceable—although nothing as tongue twisting as Paracoccidioides brasilensis, a lung-infecting fungus, or Brachyta inter- rogationis interrogationis var. nigrohumeralisscutellohumeroconjuncta, a longhorn beetle. As for pronunciation, unless one really feels that the word will be used in conversation, there is no need to be concerned with “getting it right.” But why does science eschew common names and instead encumber itself with such a seemingly inexplicable vocabulary? Because, in part, “common” does not necessarily mean “universal.” What may be an organism’s common name in one part of the country may be quite dif- ferent in another, making any initial exchange of information suspect. For example, in the Midwest the thirteen-lined ground squirrel (Spermophilus tridecemlineatus) is commonly, but mistakenly, called a gopher, which is 5 c01.qxd 8/18/03 4:06 PM Page 6 6 This Is Not a Weasel really the rightful name of a much larger rodent (Geomys bursarius).
