This system is in many ways controversial, and it will most probably be subjected to several adjustments in future. Further information on the scientific background can be obtained from e.g. A. R. Smith et al., 2006: A classification for extant ferns. Taxon 55 (3): 705-731; V. H. Heywood et al., 2007: Flowering Plant Families of the World, Kew Publishing, 424 p.; and Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, 2009: APG III. Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society 161 (2): 105-121. Raekkefolgen af de gronlandske plantefamilier i floraen er i hoj grad valgt ud fra nyere arvelighedsstudier (kromosomstudier).;Dette system er pa mange mader kontroversielt og vil formentlig skulle aandres og justeres mange gange i de kommende ar, efterhanden som vi bliver klogere. Men det er dog det bedste bud i ojeblikket pa plantemes slaegtskab, som dette har udviklet sig gennem evolutionen. Mange planteslasgter og -familier har mattet 'skifte plads' i systemet i forhold til tidligere, og flere sterre grupper har aendret status. Den videnskabe- lige baggrund herfor kan bl.a. studeres i ovennasvnte vasrker..
