New version of angiosperm classification

[Alexey Shipunov]

Dear colleagues,

The new version of my classification of angiosperms ("Systema
Angiospermarum", v.4.8) is now available on the URL:

http://herba.msu.ru/shipunov/ang

The main features of the system are follows:

* system considers as much current data as possible;

* system is fully hierarchical;

* taxa are usually considered in most broad sense;

* system is traditional -- paraphyletic taxa are widely accepted;

* order of arrangement of taxa matters and reflects the similarities
between them;

* names of families are checked with the last work of Hoogland and Reveal
(2005) and corrections of Reveal after XVII IBC (2005).

You are very welcome to send your comments to the my e-mail address.

With best wishes and regards,

Dr. Alexey B. Shipunov, Moscow
