What is APG I: Angiosperm Classification System about?
The 1998 APG paper systematically reclassified angiosperms primarily based on genetics. It proposed a new ordinal classification with 40 orders, compared to 232 in an existing system. Key aspects included not using formal names above the order level, placing many uncertain taxa, and providing alternative classifications for some groups. A major outcome was removing the traditional division of monocots and dicots, with monocots recognized as a clade but dicots not recognized as a single group.
