System of plant classification

The Classes PlantarumШаблон:Sfn has nine primary divisions into which his classes and natural orders are grouped. These are, with class numbers;

1. Acotyledonae 1–3 (Algae, Lichenes, Fungi)
2. Pseudocotyledonae 4–7 (Muscoideae, Tetradidymae, Filices, Equisetaceae)
3. Cryptocotyledonae 8–12 (Macropodae, Spadicinae, Glumiflorae, Liliiflorae, Gynandrae)
4. Phanerocotyledonae incompletae 13–16 (Micranthae, Oleraceae, Epichlamydeae, Columnantherae)
5. Phanerocotyledonae completae, hypogynae, monopetalae 17 (Tubiflorae)
6. Phanerocotyledonae completae, hypogynae, polypetalae 18–22 (Centrisporae, Brevistylae, Polycarpellae, Valvisporae, Columniferae)
7. Phanerocotyledonae completae, discigynae, monopetalae 23 (Tetraspermae)
8. Phanerocotyledonae completae, discigynae, polypetalae 24–26 (Gynobaseae, Trihilitae, Hypodicarpae)
9. Phanerocotyledonae completae, porigynae 27–33 (Subaggregatae, Aridifoliae, Succulentae, Calycanthemae, Peponiferae, Icosandrae, Leguminosae)

Each class then contains a number of orders (families). For instance, Liliiflorae contains 11 orders;

• Liliiflorae
  • 43 Asparageae
  • 44 Asphodeleae
  • 45 CoronariaeШаблон:Efn
  • 46 Veratreae
  • 47 Commelineae
  • 48 Pontedereae
  • 49 Dioscorinae
  • 50 Haemodoreae
  • 51 Irideae
  • 52 Narcisseae
  • 53 Bromeliaceae

Publications

He devoted considerable attention to political economy and as "a leading liberal", he "succeeded in improving and raising the standards of education in Sweden". He also wrote on theological and other subjects, but his reputation chiefly rests on his botanical works, especially Systema algarum, Species algarum rite cognitae and Classes plantarumШаблон:Sfn on biological classification, and Icones Algarum (1824, 1820–28, and 1828–35). The greatest part of his Manual of Botany (2 vols., Malmoe, 1829–32) has been translated into German.
