Family characteristics for plant families

The following documents provide basic familiy characteristics for most of the families covered in the lab. These pages have been compiled from a combination of sources. Some are from pages developed by Carolyn Parker for the plant systematics course. Others have been compiled from:

Judd, W.S. Campbell, C.S., Kellogg, E.A., and Stevens, P.F. 1999. Plant Systematics: A Phylogenetic Approach. Sunderland, MA, Sinauer Associates, Inc.
