Liliopsida Batsch ( synonym : Liliatae ) is a botanical name for the class containing the family Liliaceae (or Lily Family). It is considered synonymous (or nearly synonymous) with the name monocotyledon . Publication of the name is credited to Scopoli (in 1760): see author citation (botany) . This name is formed by replacing the termination -aceae in the name Liliaceae by the termination -opsida (Art 16 of the ICBN ).
5-464: Although in principle it is true that circumscription of this class will vary with the taxonomic system being used, in practice this name is very strongly linked to the Cronquist system , and the allied Takhtajan system . These two are the only major systems to use the name, and in both these systems it refers to the group more widely known as the monocotyledons . Earlier systems referred to this group by
10-676: A clade ). Therefore, in practice the name Liliopsida will almost surely refer to the usage as in the Cronquist system. In summary the monocotyledons were named: Each of the systems mentioned above use their own internal taxonomy for the group. The Takhtajan system used this internal taxonomy: The internal taxonomy in the Cronquist system is: The internal taxonomy in the Reveal system is: List of systems of plant taxonomy This list of systems of plant taxonomy presents "taxonomic systems" used in plant classification. A taxonomic system
15-576: Is a coherent whole of taxonomic judgments on circumscription and placement of the considered taxa. It is only a "system" if it is applied to a large group of such taxa (for example, all the flowering plants). There are two main criteria for this list. A system must be taxonomic , that is deal with many plants, by their botanical names . Secondly it must be a system, i.e. deal with the relationships of plants. Although thinking about relationships of plants had started much earlier (see history of plant systematics ), such systems really only came into being in
20-518: The 19th century, as a result of an ever-increasing influx from all over the world of newly discovered plant species. The 18th century saw some early systems, which are perhaps precursors rather than full taxonomic systems. A milestone event was the publication of Species Plantarum by Linnaeus which serves as the starting point of binomial nomenclature for plants. By its size this would qualify to be on this list, but it does not deal with relationships, beyond assigning plants into genera. Note that
25-550: The name Monocotyledones, with Monocotyledoneae an earlier spelling (these names may be used in any rank ). Systems such as the Dahlgren and Thorne systems (more recent than the Takhtajan and Cronquist systems) refer to this group by the name Liliidae (a name in the rank of subclass). Modern systems, such as the APG and APG II systems refer to this group by the name monocots (a name for
