Liliopsida

*** Shopping-Tip: Liliopsida
'''''Liliopsida''''' is the botanical name for a class. 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''). Although in principle it is true that circumscription of this class will vary with the list of systems of plant taxonomy 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 known as monocotyledons. Earlier systems referred to this group by the name ''Monocotyledones'', with ''Monocotyledoneae'' an earlier spelling (these names may be used in any rank (botany) rank). Systems such as the Dahlgren system 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 system APG and APG II systems refer to this group by the name '''monocots''' (a name for 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: * ''Monocotyledoneae'' in the de Candolle system and the Engler system. * ''Monocotyledones'' in the Bentham & Hooker system and the Wettstein system * class ''Liliopsida'' in the Takhtajan system Takhtajan and the Cronquist system (also in the Reveal system). * subclass ''Liliidae'' in the Dahlgren system and the Thorne system (1992). * clade '''monocots''' in the APG system and the APG II system. Each of the systems mentioned above use their own internal taxonomy for the group.

''Zingiberanae'' category: plant taxonomy category:Liliopsida es:Liliopsida it:Liliopsida nl:Liliopsida {{sisterlinkswp|Category:Liliopsida}} {{commonscat|Liliopsida}} This category is for plants in the class '''Liliopsida''', the Monocotyledons or monocots. They are a group of flowering plants usually ranked as a class and once called the Monocotyledoneae. This taxonomic grouping is now named Liliopsida. Flowering plants not included in the Liliopsida are dicotyledons or dicots, categorized as Magnoliopsida. {{catmore}} Category:Magnoliophyta bg:КатегориÑ?:ЕдноÑ?емеделни fr:Catégorie:Monocotylédone la:Categoria:Liliopsida pl:Kategoria:JednoliÅ›cienne pt:Categoria:Liliopsida ru:КатегориÑ?:Однодольные fi:Luokka:Yksisirkkaiset sv:Kategori:Monocotyledonae zh:Category:å–®å­?葉æ¤?物綱
