Taxonomy
= the study of naming, describing and
classifying organisms, including the
rules, theories, principles and procedures
Taxon = a group of organisms recognized
at any level of a taxonomical hierarchy
(e. g. Family, Class)
![Page 3: Taxonomy, Classification, and Identification by Karl Hagenbuch](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a65d7677f8b9aaf638b4f6b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Classification= the orderly arrangement of organisms into a hierarchal
system that is derived from an accumulation of
information about the individual organisms, the end result
expressing an interrelationship
Why?
Because it provides humans with a means to address
organisms and their relationships to one another
Because it allows humans to make inferences about
unfamiliar organisms
Because it is in our nature

Classification
Systems:
Artificial = based on obvious or convenient items of
information called characters (e.g. flower color, locality).
Natural = based on morphological features that
give the sense of correlation with those of
another organism. (e.g. trees, grasses)
Phylogenetic = based on the proposed lineage
derived from a wide variety of information.

Aristotle
Greek Philosopher
First to propose a system
of classification
Scala Naturalae
Two types of animals:
• With blood
• Without blood
![Page 6: Taxonomy, Classification, and Identification by Karl Hagenbuch](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a65d7677f8b9aaf638b4f6b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Theophrastus
Greek Philosopher
Father of plant taxonomy
Classification of plants
was based on:
• Mode of generation
• Locality
• Size
• Usefulness
![Page 7: Taxonomy, Classification, and Identification by Karl Hagenbuch](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a65d7677f8b9aaf638b4f6b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Carl von Linné
Swedish botanist, zoologist, and
physician
First to illustrate the usefulness
of binomial nomenclature
Developed the modern
taxonomic hierarchy
![Page 8: Taxonomy, Classification, and Identification by Karl Hagenbuch](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a65d7677f8b9aaf638b4f6b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Modern Hierarchy
(Biological Classification)
• Domain – Eukarya
• Kingdom – Animalia
• Phylum – Cordata
• Class – Mammalia
• Order – Primates
• Family – Hominidae
• Genus – Homo
• Species – Homo sapiens
![Page 9: Taxonomy, Classification, and Identification by Karl Hagenbuch](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a65d7677f8b9aaf638b4f6b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Current system recognizes 3 Domains:• Eukarya:
– Kingdom Animalia– Kingdom Plantae– Kingdom Fungi
• Archaea & Bacteria
• The previously recognized Kingdoms ofProtista & Monera have been dissolved
Modern Taxonomic Hierarchy
![Page 10: Taxonomy, Classification, and Identification by Karl Hagenbuch](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a65d7677f8b9aaf638b4f6b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Carolus Linnaeus
= a two-word name consisting of a generic name and a specific epithet
Binomial Nomenclature
Specific epithets:
Descriptives – Quercus macrocarpa
= Oak with big fruit
Honorifics – Quercus buckleyi
= Oak named for Mr. Buckley
Localities – Quercus virginiana
= Oak first described in Virginia
![Page 11: Taxonomy, Classification, and Identification by Karl Hagenbuch](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a65d7677f8b9aaf638b4f6b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Phylogenetic Classification= the evolutionary history of a species or group of species
Typically represented as
a phylogenetic tree
(cladogram) a branching
diagram showing the
evolutionary
relationships among
various biological
species or other taxa
that are believed to have
a common ancestor

Plant Classification
Current classification systems follow the recognized
taxonomic hierarchy, however, there is always some
disagreement as to the membership requirements of
various taxa
The Core
![Page 19: Taxonomy, Classification, and Identification by Karl Hagenbuch](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a65d7677f8b9aaf638b4f6b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Gymnosperms and Angiosperms
Angiosperms
• plants with vascular (circulatory) tissues
• they produce flowers
• reproductive unit is a seed produced within an
enclosed ovary
Gymnosperms• plants with vascular (circulatory) tissues
• they lack flowers
• reproductive unit is a seed produced on scales
in a cone-like structure
![Page 20: Taxonomy, Classification, and Identification by Karl Hagenbuch](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a65d7677f8b9aaf638b4f6b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Non-vascular Land Plants
Non-vascular land plants
• reduced plants that lack vascular
(circulatory) tissues
• they neither have flowers nor produce
seeds
• reproductive unit is a spore
![Page 21: Taxonomy, Classification, and Identification by Karl Hagenbuch](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a65d7677f8b9aaf638b4f6b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ferns
Ferns and fern allies
• plants with vascular (circulatory)
tissues
• they neither have flowers nor produce
seeds
• reproductive unit is a spore
![Page 22: Taxonomy, Classification, and Identification by Karl Hagenbuch](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a65d7677f8b9aaf638b4f6b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Identification
= the assigning of an existing name to an
unknown organism
Methods
Expert assistance – local university,
school, museum
Comparison method – guide books,
internet
Dichotomous key – local manuals, floras
![Page 23: Taxonomy, Classification, and Identification by Karl Hagenbuch](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a65d7677f8b9aaf638b4f6b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Dichotomous Key
Keys based on a sequence of pairs of
contrasting statements
The user chooses the statement that better
describes the plant in question
Each time a choice is made a number of plants
are eliminated
Eventually the number of possible
identifications is reduced to one
![Page 24: Taxonomy, Classification, and Identification by Karl Hagenbuch](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a65d7677f8b9aaf638b4f6b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
