Abstract

This article presents an overview of Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification, its genesis and culmination to APG III. An analysis of the 413 families recognized in APG III revealed that 259 families are represented in India. It is hoped that this article may initiate the option of arranging the specimens in Indian herbaria following APG classification and would facilitate teachers and students in knowing the current and advanced phylogenetic system of classification.
