BOTANY 301 - TAXONOMY OF FLOWERING PLANTS
This page is the index to the following pages for each Subclass which then link to the families, or you can link directly to the family pages from here if you don't want to read about the SubClasses.
Below are the links for each family and the floral formulas. CA = Calyx, CO = Corolla, A = Androecium, G = Gynoecium. A line below the G = Hypogynous flower (ovary superior); a line above the G = Epigynous flower (ovary inferior). A circle around a number means the parts are fused. A half circle or curve below something means partial or basal fusion of those parts. Z = Zygomorphic. The infinity symbol (sideways 8) means numerous parts. The long curved line below the Calyx, Corolla, and Androecium indicates fusion of their bases into a hypanthium.
