DOWELD A. B. New Syllabus of Plant Families (A Plant World System). Approx. 500 p. Hardbound; 21 cm x 29 cm PRICE: 150.00 EURO/US $166.67 For botanists, zoologists, palaeontologists (palaeobotanists), protistologists, molecular biologists, all interested in botanical and zoological nomenclature and phylogenetic systematics. The book contains the phylogenetic system of all plants from plant-like procaryotes, lower plant-like protistan organisms, algae, and fungi to mosses and higher vascular plants. Each family of plants is briefly characterized with diagnosis, provided a full synonymy from 1753 (omitted invalidly published, descriptive and illegitimate names), in some cases detailed infrafamilial classification is presented. The Syllabus covers all known plants, including fossil, for the period of cca. 4700 million years (from Precambrian to Extant), described from the starting point of botanical nomenclature (Linnaeus' Species Plantarum, 1753). The New Syllabus supersedes the world known 'Syllabus der Pflanzenfamilien', which has been initiated by the German botanist Adolf Engler in 1892 and which served as a main source of systematic botany for the nearly half of 20th century. 5 kingdoms of plants (aggregated into subempire Chlorota) and kingdom of fungi (treated as belonging to Zoota (Opisthokonta) subempire of Eukaryotes) contain cca. 7500 validly published names of families, orders, superorders, (sub-) classes as on Jan, 2003, including for the first time revised and summarized fossil suprageneric names. A revised, brief system of Eukaryota is also added with 481 analogous suprageneric names: the Eukaryota is considered as a domain (empire) of organisms, splitted into two subdomains, Chlorota (plant-like organisms aggreagted into 5 kingdoms) and Zoota (animals and fungi in 6 kingdoms). More than 120 new suprageneric names (from family to phyla) are validated according to provisions of both International Codes of Botanical and Zoological Nomenclature. A comprehensive bibliography (approx. 1700 entries) covers all papers and books in which all summarized suprageneric names for the period of cca. 250 years (since 1753)have been validly published. |
