Discover a comprehensive guide to plant classification and the relationships among major groups.

This edition revises key groups such as the Thallophyta, including algae and fungi, and preserves a widely used Danish framework while incorporating modern updates from respected scholars. It also provides reference material that helps readers understand the historic and practical context of plant taxonomy, with notes on terminology and an appendix outlining older classification systems.

The book combines clear explanations with a logical layout that traces the evolution of classification from simple, thallus-based forms to the more complex seed-bearing plants. It emphasizes how systematics explain the connections between groups and how classifications have changed over time, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals alike.

Discussion of classification principles and the sequence of orders used in the Danish edition
Glossary-style notes on terminology and a detailed appendix on older systems
