Yes, indeed several researchers adopt many other classifications based on monographic works of individual families or genera, etc... But ecologists prefer life form or functional classification of plants. The recent taxonomic classification is APG II system of classification. You can get a clear overview of system of plant classification available so far from the following wikipedia link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_systems_of_plant_taxonomy Regards, Stephen...

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.
