Enquiry Into Plants the Causes of Plants De Historia Plantarum . Daucus The contributions are arranged as numbered lists for each taxonomist with the most important ones at the beginning. You don’t have to learn the complete note as it is, prepare them as shortnotes maximum 10 points for each taxonomist, choose them according to your own preference. Major Contribution of Theophrastus (372 BC to 287 BC) – Father of Botany Theophrastus was a Greek naturalist, he was student of Pluto and Aristotle. After Aristotle’s death, he inherited his library and the garden. Theophrastus is credited with having authored more than 200 works most of which survive as fragments or as quotations in the works of other authors. Two of his botanical works have survived intact, however, and are available in English translations: Enquiry into plants (1916) and The Causes of plants (1927). During his conquests, Alexander the Great made arrangements to send back materials to Athens, enabling Theophrastus to write about exotic plants such as cotton, cinnamon and bananas. His major contribution to botany are: 1. Theophrastus described about 500 kinds of plants, 2. He classified plants into four major groups: the trees, shrubs, subshrubs and herbs. 3. He recognized the differences between flowering plants and non-flowering plants, 4. He recognized the differences between dicotyledons and monocotyledons, superior ovary and inferior ovary, free and fused petals and also fruit types. 5. He was aware of the fact that many cultivated plants do not breed true. 6. Several names used by Theophrastus in his De Historia plantarum, e.g. Daucus, Crataegus and Narcissus, to name a few, are in use even today. Major Contributions of Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778)—Father of taxonomy Carolus Linnaeus, was a Swedish naturalist. Linnaeus published his first paper on the sexuality of plants in 1729. In 1730, he published Hortus upplandicus, enumerating the plants in the Uppsala Botanical Garden according to the Tournefort’s system. Faced with problem of increasing numbers of plants which he found hard to fit in Tournefort’s system, he published a revised edition of Hortus upplandicus with plants classified according to his own sexual system. 1. He published Systema naturae in 1735, in which he presented an outline of his sexual system of classification. 2. Linnaeus published several manuscripts, including Genera plantarum (1737). In his Genera plantarum, he listed and described all the plant genera known to him. 3. He published his best known Species plantarum in 1753. In Species plantarum, he listed and described all the known species of plants. For each species there was : i. A generic name ii. a polynomial descriptive phrase or phrase-name commencing with generic name and of up to twelve words, intended to serve as description of the species, iii. a trivial name or specific epithet on the margin; iv. synonyms with reference to important earlier literature; and v. habitats and countries. 4. The generic name followed by the trivial name formed the name for each species. Linnaeus thus established the binomial nomenclature, first started by Caspar Bauhin and the generic concept, started by Tournefort. Major Contributions of John Hutchinson(1884-1972) John Hutchinson was a British botanist associated with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, England who also served as keeper of Kew herbarium for many years. 1. Hutchinson first proposed his classification of angiosperms in his book The Families of Flowering Plants, the first volume on Dicotyledons appearing in 1926 and the second on Monocotyledons in 1934. The classification was revised periodically, second edition in 1959 and the 3rd in 1973. 2. In addition to presenting his system of classification for angiosperms, Hutchinson also published valuable works such as Flora of West Tropical Africa (1927-29), Common Wild Flowers (1945), A Botanist in South Africa (1946), Evolution and Classification of Rhododendrons (1946), British Flowering Plants (1948), More Common Wild Flowers (1948), Uncommon Wild Flowers (1950), British Wild Flowers (1955), Evolution and Phylogeny of Flowering Plants (1969) and Key to the Families of Flowering Plants of the World (1968).(learn two or three names) 3. Hutchinson also embarked upon an ambitious plan of revising Genera plantarum of Bentham and Hooker under the title The Genera of Flowering Plants. Unfortunately he could complete only 2 volumes of this work, published in 1964 and 1967. 4. The classification system of Hutchinson, is based on 24 phylogenetic principles, and studies of a large number of plants at his disposal at Kew. 5. The 24 principles included General principles, Relating to General Habit, Relating to General Structure of Flowering plants and those Relating to Flowers and Fruits. 6. The classification system of Hutchinson dealt only with the flowering plants, included under Phylum Angiospermae as distinct from Phylum Gymnospermae. 7. Hutchinson considered flowering plants to be monophyletic, having evolved from the hypothetical cycadeoid ancestral group which he gave the name of Proangiosperms. 8. He established Magnoliales as an order distinct from Ranales, he regarded Magnoliaceae as the most primitive family of the living angiosperms. 9. He considered Dicotyledones to be more primitive and placed them before Monocotyledones, giving them a rank of Subphylum. 10.He also considered Monocotyledones to be a monophyletic group derived from Ranales, 11.He classified taxa based on combination of characters and not one or a few characters as in earlier systems. 12.He provided detailed classification up to the generic level, description of very high standard and useful keys for the identification of families. Major contributions of Armen Takhtajan (1910–2009) Armen Takhtajan was a leading Russian plant taxonomist and chief of the Department of higher plants in V.L. Komarov Botanic Institute, USSR Academy of Sciences, Leningrad (now named St. Petersburg). Takhtajan, who has provided a classification of angiosperms up to the family level, belonged to the Besseyan School and was strongly influenced by Hutchinson, Hallier and the other more progressive German workers. 1. He was an international authority on phytogeography, origin and phylogeny of flowering plants. 2. He was the President of the 12th International Botanical Congress held in Leningrad in 1975. 3. His classification was first published in 1954 in Russian, but came to be known outside the Soviet Union only after its English translation Origin of Angiospermous Plants was published in 1958. 4. His final comprehensive system of classification was published in 1997 (Diversity and Classification of Flowering Plants). 5. Earlier Takhtajan, along with Cronquist and Zimmerman, also provided a broad classification of Embryobionta (1966). 6. While deciding the placement of various groups, Takhtajan used a number of criteria and based on his understanding of the available information. He developed his classification system based on phylogenetic, as well as phenetic information from every field of study, however he relied more heavily on phylogenetic data. 7. He believed in the monophyletic origin of angiosperms, the group having evolved from seed ferns Lyginopteridophyta. 8. According to Takhtajan, the angiosperms are of neotenous origin (retention of juvenile characters in the adult plant). Takhtajan was of the opinion that angiosperms arose under environmental stress, probably as a result of adaptation to moderate seasonal drought on rocky mountain slopes, in an area with monsoon climate. 9. He considered Degeneriaceae as the most primitive family and placed it under the order Magnoliales. 10.Takhtajan named angiosperms as division Magnoliophyta. Dicots and monocots are given the rank of a class and named Magnoliopsida and Liliopsida, respectively. These are further subdivided into subclasses (ending in -idae, e.g. Rosidae), superorders (ending in -anae, e.g. Rosanae), orders and families. systems are developed 11.His system is more phylogenetic than that of Hutchinson and other earlier authors and is based on now widely accepted phylogenetic principles. 12.The derivation of Monocotyledons from the terrestrial hypothetical extinct group of Magnoliidae (often called proangiosperms), is largely favoured, as also the view that Alismatales and Nymphaeales represent ancient side branches and have a common origin. 13.Abolition of artificial group names Polypetalae, Gamopetalae, Lignosae, Herbaceae etc. has resulted in more natural grouping of taxa 14.Nomenclature is in accordance with the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, 15.even up to the level of division. 16.Depiction of the putative relationships of major subclasses and superorders with the help of a bubble diagram is very useful. It gives some idea about the relative size of different groups, 17.point of cladistic divergence and degree of advancement (apomorphy) reached. Larger groups are represented by larger bubbles, vertical length the degree of advancement, and the point of separation of a branch its cladistic divergence. 18.Takhtajan’s use of the ending -anae, was earlier opposed in favour of -florae but has now been accepted by G. Dahlgren (1989) and Thorne (1992 onwards) since the ending-florae restricts the usage to angiosperms and is not universal in application. Arthur Cronquist (1919-1992), Arthur Cronquist was a leading American taxonomist, associated with the New York Botanical Garden. 1. He produced a broad classification of Embryobionta along with Takhtajan and Zimmerman (1966). 2. He produced a detailed classification of angiosperms

  • Full of Beans: a Study on the Alignment of Two Flowering Plants Classification Systems
    Full of beans: a study on the alignment of two flowering plants classification systems Yi-Yun Cheng and Bertram Ludäscher School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA {yiyunyc2,ludaesch}@illinois.edu Abstract. Advancements in technologies such as DNA analysis have given rise to new ways in organizing organisms in biodiversity classification systems. In this paper, we examine the feasibility of aligning two classification systems for flowering plants using a logic-based, Region Connection Calculus (RCC-5) ap- proach. The older “Cronquist system” (1981) classifies plants using their mor- phological features, while the more recent Angiosperm Phylogeny Group IV (APG IV) (2016) system classifies based on many new methods including ge- nome-level analysis. In our approach, we align pairwise concepts X and Y from two taxonomies using five basic set relations: congruence (X=Y), inclusion (X>Y), inverse inclusion (X<Y), overlap (X><Y), and disjointness (X!Y). With some of the RCC-5 relationships among the Fabaceae family (beans family) and the Sapindaceae family (maple family) uncertain, we anticipate that the merging of the two classification systems will lead to numerous merged solutions, so- called possible worlds. Our research demonstrates how logic-based alignment with ambiguities can lead to multiple merged solutions, which would not have been feasible when aligning taxonomies, classifications, or other knowledge or- ganization systems (KOS) manually. We believe that this work can introduce a novel approach for aligning KOS, where merged possible worlds can serve as a minimum viable product for engaging domain experts in the loop. Keywords: taxonomy alignment, KOS alignment, interoperability 1 Introduction With the advent of large-scale technologies and datasets, it has become increasingly difficult to organize information using a stable unitary classification scheme over time.

A HISTORY OF DISCOVERY, LUST AND WEALTH Nora Eugenia D. G. ANGHELESCU1, Annie BYGRAVE2, Mihaela I. GEORGESCU1, Sorina A. PETRA1, Florin TOMA1 1University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, 59 Mărăști Blvd, District 1, Bucharest, Romania 2Self-employed, London, UK Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract Orchidaceae is the second largest families of flowering plants. There are approximately 900 orchid genera comprising between 28,000-32,000 species of orchids. The relationship between orchids and mankind is complex. The history of orchids’ discovery goes hand in hand with the history of humanity, encompassing discovery and adventure, witchcraft and magic, symbolism and occultism, addiction and sacrifice, lust and wealth. Historically, the Chinese were the first to cultivate orchids as medicinal plants, more than 4000 years ago. Gradually, records about orchids spread, reaching the Middle East and Europe. Around 300 B.C., Theophrastus named them for the first time orkhis. In 1737, Carl Linnaeus first used the word Orchidaceae to designate plants with similar features. The family name, Orchidaceae was fully established in 1789, by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. In 1862, Charles Darwin published the first edition of his book, Fertilisation of Orchids. Darwin considered the adaptations of orchid flowers to their animal pollinators as being among the best examples of his idea of evolution through natural selection. Orchidology was on its way. During the 18th and the 19th centuries, orchids generated the notorious Orchid Fever where orchid-hunters turned the search for orchids into a frantic and obsessive hunt.

Recent developmental and molecular data sets and the application of cladistic analytical methods support dramatic changes in circumscription at the familial, tribal, and generic levels. Growing interest in the family outside the taxonomic and systematic fields warrants a brief review of the recent nomenclatural history (mainly 20th century), some of the classification systems currently in use, and an explanation of which data support various classification schemes. An abridged bibliography with critical nomen- clatural references is provided. Key words: anatomy, classification, morphology, nomenclature, systematics, Theaceae.

  • Plants Found in the Middle Parts of the State Grow Here, Excepting the Alpine Flowers
    CULTIVATION BOTANY.— Wood grows here [Concord] with great rapidity; and it is supposed there is as much now as there was twenty years ago. Walden woods at the south, and other lots towards the southwest parts of the town, are the most extensive, covering several hundred acres of light-soil land. Much of the fuel, which is consumed, is, however brought from the neighbouring towns. The most common trees are the oak, pine, maple, elm, white birch, chestnut, walnut, &c., &c. Hemlock and spruce are very rare. The ornamental trees transplanted, in this as in most other towns, do not appear to have been placed with much regularity; but as they are, they contribute much to the comfort and beauty of the town. The elm, buttonwood, horse-chestnut, and fruit trees have very properly taken the place of sickly poplars, in ornamenting the dwellings. The large elm in front of the court-house, –the pride of the common,– is almost unrivalled in beauty. It is about “three score and ten,” but is still growing with youthful vigor and uniform rapidity. Dr. Jarvis, who is familiar with the botany of Concord, informs me, that “most of the plants found in the middle parts of the state grow here, excepting the alpine flowers. The extensive low lands produce abundantly the natural families of the aroideæ, typhæ, cyperoideæ, gramineæ, junci, corymbiferæ and unbelliferæ. These genera especially abound. There are also found, the juncus militaris (bayonet rush), on the borders of Fairhaven pond; cornus florida; lobelia carinalis (cardinal flower) abundant on the borders of the river; polygala cruciata, in the east parts of the town; nyssa villosa (swamp hornbeam) at the foot of Fairhaven hill.” The cicuta Americana (hemlock) grows abundant on the intervals.

  • History of Taxonomy
    History of Taxonomy The history of taxonomy dates back to the origin of human language. Western scientific taxonomy started in Greek some hundred years BC and are here divided into prelinnaean and postlinnaean. The most important works are cited and the progress of taxonomy (with the focus on botanical taxonomy) are described up to the era of the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus, who founded modern taxonomy. The development after Linnaeus is characterized by a taxonomy that increasingly have come to reflect the paradigm of evolution. The used characters have extended from morphological to molecular. Nomenclatural rules have developed strongly during the 19th and 20th century, and during the last decade traditional nomenclature has been challenged by advocates of the Phylocode. Mariette Manktelow Dept of Systematic Biology Evolutionary Biology Centre Uppsala University Norbyv. 18D SE-752 36 Uppsala E-mail: [email protected] 1. Pre-Linnaean taxonomy 1.1. Earliest taxonomy Taxonomy is as old as the language skill of mankind. It has always been essential to know the names of edible as well as poisonous plants in order to communicate acquired experiences to other members of the family and the tribe. Since my profession is that of a systematic botanist, I will focus my lecture on botanical taxonomy. A taxonomist should be aware of that apart from scientific taxonomy there is and has always been folk taxonomy, which is of great importance in, for example, ethnobiological studies. When we speak about ancient taxonomy we usually mean the history in the Western world, starting with Romans and Greek. However, the earliest traces are not from the West, but from the East.

    Agriboard Agriboard, lumber substitutes made from plant fibers, are revolutionizing how plant wastes are used and has potential for far ranging impact on agriculture, forestry and conservation. Typing agriboard into a search engine brings up nearly 100 web pages. Three of these pages have been reviewed and are offered here for your examination. The first is an in-depth report from Environmental Building News, Vol. 4 (No. 3) and offers an excellent, balanced overview on the use of wheat straw lumber in homebuilding. The second article reviewed by EBL, Environmental Building News, Vol. 4 (No. 6), is a brief commentary on this topic including reaction to use of this material by an architect. Third is an excerpt written by David Morris, from the book, 'Non-woody Fibers and the Future of Rural Economics," edited by J. Janick., discussing general use of plant fibers for building materials. This last entry is of particular interest as it discusses cellulose for construction, from non-timber sources, in a broad sense. That opens the door to using native prairie grasses and other native plant resources to provide income from restored land . This is especially important for land which would otherwise be converted to cash crops and for areas which have lain fallow for several years but recently lost set aside status. It has also been pointed out that most areas loosing set aside status are eligible for organic certification. Production of agriboard fiber has potential to stand alone or easily dovetail with organic agriculture to aid conservation.
