Reveal system
Encyclopedia
A modern system of plant taxonomy, the Reveal system of plant classification was drawn up by the botanist J.L. Reveal
(1941- ), professor emeritus at the Norton Brown Herbarium, Maryland (see his cv).
The last update of the system was made in 1999. The author later joined the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group
and contributed to the APG II system

APG II system
The APG II system of plant classification is the second, now obsolete, version of a modern, mostly molecular-based, system of plant taxonomy that was published in April 2003 by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. It was a revision of the first APG system, published in 1998, and was superseded in 2009...
