Template:Short description A system of plant taxonomy, the Thorne system of plant classification was devised by the American botanist Robert F. Thorne (1920–2015) in 1968,Template:Sfn and he continued to issue revisions over many years (1968–2007).Template:SfnTemplate:SfnTemplate:SfnTemplate:SfnTemplate:SfnTemplate:SfnTemplate:SfnTemplate:Sfn

Some versions of the system are available online. The Bioinformatics Working Group Center for the Study of Digital Libraries at Texas A&M University lists the March 1999 version[1] (and other classification systems).[2] James Reveal's course lecture notes (1999) also gives an account of the Thorne system at that time, with an extensive listing of synonyms, both nomenclatural and taxonomic, for each name in the systemTemplate:Sfn together with several other classification systems.Template:Sfn

For a discussion of the various suffixes used for superorders (-florae vs. -anae), see Brummitt 1992,Template:Sfn and Thorne 1992.Template:Sfn In this latter paper, Thorne sets out his reasons for abandoning -florae for -anae, following contemporary practice.

2007 System

The 2007 system lists 12 subclasses, 35 superorders, 87 orders, 40 suborders, and 472 families. It uses the suffixes given in the following example.

Class Magnoliopsida ("Angiospermae") - 12 subclasses

  • Subclass Magnoliidae
    • Superorder: Magnolianae
      • Order: Magnoliales
        • SubOrder: Magnoliineae
          • Family: Magnoliaceae
            • SubFamily: Magnolioideae
              • Tribe: Magnolieae
Subclasses (12)

Note: Monocotyledons are represented here by 3 separate subclasses 3–5Template:Sfn
