Thank you very much Dr. Stephen for the very pertinent explanations and links.
May I ask one more question which I have had for a while now, it pertains to the classification systems adopted. I wish to know which is the dominant system of classification, the one based on plant characteristics or the one based on plant relations which I believe leads to re-classification of some of the plants into a different family altoghether. Is there any other system adopted by researchers? Thank you. regards, Rashida.
