It is classification based on information provided by comparative cytological studies, number of chromosomes, structure and meiotic behaviour of chromo­somes. It is known that fewer and larger chromosomes have been formed in many cases by fusion of smaller chromosomes. Herbaceous plants have larger chromosomes than those of woody plants. Naturally, herbaceous plants are more advanced than the woody plants.

In many genera the same basic chromosome number has been found in different species, e.g., 12 in Solanum species and 9 in Chrysanthemum species.
