The Phylogenetic Method in Taxonomy: The North American Species of Artemisia, Chrysothamnus, and Atriplex (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Phylogenetic Method in Taxonomy: The North American Species of Artemisia, Chrysothamnus, and Atriplex
Scope. - The essence of taxonomy is clearly indicated by the meaning of the word itself. It denotes the science of arrangement or system, and hence classification. While cataloguing is a part of it, it is a small part only. The naming of new forms is a necessary function of taxonomy, but it Should always be incidental to giving them their proper meaning and relationship, and never an end in itself. In the case of plants, the mere recognition of supposed new species in the herbarium hardly merits the term descriptive botany, and it can in no Wise be regarded as adequate taxonomic investigation. It has its value, and hence its excuse, in the biological exploration of new and distant countries, but, here as elsewhere, permanent taxonomic results must await the application of statis tical and experimental methods in the field (clements.
