Question

Differences between phylogenetic classification and artificial classification

Answer 1

Artificial classification system

Classification based on the basis of

external, morphological characters

like habit, leaf types. vegetative

structures, etc.

It was given by Linnaeus.

It separated closely related species

and was not a very good system of

classification.

Natural classification system

Classification based on the basis of

both external, morphological

characters and internal features, like

anatomy, embryology,

phytochemistry, etc.

It was a better system as compared

to artificial system.
