Apg classification: a lot of points of difference with traditional classification. For example, the proteales which contains three families (nelumbonaceae [lotus], plaaanaceae, proteaceae). It isn"t obvious what the classification is (it is based on molecular classification): the rules of nomenclature go back to linnaeus. This was the set of rules that he published on classifications and systematics. There fundamentally wasn"t any reason for anybody to adopt them: in 1867, the first botanical congress was held in paris. There were only 233 people attending, almost all from europe. They adopted the de condolle"s work which was later known as the. You don"t necessarily have to use the original epithet in other works.

Types are just a specimen they use as reference to the name in which it is attached to.
