Discussion
Correctly match the names of the plant taxonomists (Group I) with the titles of the books they authored (Group II).
| Group I | Group II |
|---|---|
| (P) John Hutchinson | (1) Classification of Flowering Plants |
| (Q) Adolf Engler and Karl Prantl | (2) Evolution and Classification of Flowering Plants |
| (R) Arthur Cronquist | (3) Die Naturlichen Pflanzenfamilien |
| (S) Alfred Barton Rendle | (4) The Families of Flowering Plants |
Answer: A
The correct match is P-4; Q-3; R-2; S-1.
- John Hutchinson wrote The Families of Flowering Plants, the basis of his phylogenetic system dividing dicots into woody and herbaceous lines.
- Adolf Engler and Karl Prantl edited Die Naturlichen Pflanzenfamilien, the multi-volume German work presenting the Engler system.
- Arthur Cronquist wrote The Evolution and Classification of Flowering Plants, setting out his widely used system of angiosperm classification.
- Alfred Barton Rendle wrote The Classification of Flowering Plants, a two-volume work following the Engler arrangement.
The other options give Hutchinson the Rendle or Cronquist title, or give Engler and Prantl an English title, when theirs is the only German work in the list.
