	Armen Takhtajan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Armen Takhtajan (born 1910), aka Armen Leonovich Takhtadjan or Takhtadzhian, is a Soviet-Armenian botanist, one of the most important figures in 20th Century plant evolution and systematics and biogeography.
		Takhtajan worked at the Komarov Botanical Institute in Leningrad, where he developed his 1940 classification scheme for flowering plants, which emphasized phylogenetic relationships between plants.
		The Takhtajan system is similar to the Cronquist system, but with somewhat greater complexity at the higher levels.

		Takhtajan retained Sarraceniaceae in Dilleniidae, Nepenthaceae in Magnoliidae, and Droseraceae in Rosidae.
		Cronquist and Takhtajan considered this to be Alismatidae; Dahlgren and Thorne began with the equivalent of Liliidae.
		Takhtajan and Thorne have provided me with information that they have yet to publish, and for permission to use their data I am most grateful.

	Diversity and Classification of Flowering Plants:0231100981:Takhtajan, Armen; Takhtadzhian, A. L.:eCampus.com
		The culmination of more than fifty years of research by the foremost living expert on plant classification, "Diversity and Classification of Flowering Plants" is an important contribution to the field of plant taxonomy.
		Instead of describing every individual family, Takhtajan includes descriptions in keys to families, which he calls "descriptive keys." The advantage of descriptive keys is that they give both the characteristic features of the families and their differences.
		Takhtajan favors the smaller, more natural families and orders, which are more coherent and better-defined, where characters are easily grasped, and which are more suitable for information retrieval and phylogenetic studies, including cladistic analysis (because it reduces polymorphic codings).

	ON THE ORIGIN OF ANGIOSPERMS
		According to Takhtajan (1969, 1991), similarities between the theorized primitive flowering plant and the Magnoliaceae in vegetative and reproductive structure are evident.
		Takhtajan (1991) especially emphasizes the importance of the conservation of reproductive structures within the angiosperms, as reproductive structures are not as easily reversible over time as vegetative structures are reversible.
		Takhtajan (1991) and Stevens (1980) believe that Magnoliaceae is a preserved “living fossil” of this time period and should carry more phylogenetic weight, as there are not enough angiosperm fossils to draw direct conclusions concerning their origin.

	ARTHUR CRONQUIST RECORDS
		In the later 1950's he began a correspondence and collaboration with the Armenian botanist, Armen Takhtajan, of the Komarov Institute in Leningrad, U.S.S.R. His work with Takhtajan and associate biologists at the Komarov proved a critical stimulus in the development of his synthetic projects in general botanic systems.
		There are 7 files of Cronquist's correspondence with Armen Takhtajan (1957 to 1992), including 4 pertaining to specific projects or publications undertaken in collaboration.
		One file pertains to the Soviet physicist and dissident Andrei Sakharov relating to constituent opinions of the Botanical Society of America members regarding a position statement of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on the Sakharov case in 1973.

		The Takhtajan system is now available on Flowering Plant Gateway at Texas A. A full listing of all validly published flowering plant family names will soon be available.
		While Takhtajan states that "I am well aware that I may be regarded as a 'splitter" he notes that by more narrowly defining taxa it becomes easier to "to create a system consisting of better defined monophyletic units."
		At present, Takhtajan is not included in either listing pending formal publication of his newest system.

		Diversity and Classification of Flowering Plants) treats flowering plants as as a division or phylum (Magnoliophyta) with two classes (monocots and dicots) which are organized into Subclasses.
		However, Takhtajan uses the Superorder as the basic unit of the Subclass and this pattern of organization is also used in the Thorne System of flowering plant classification.

	Botanical Taxonomy -- A Historical Summary - Christopher Hobbs L.Ac., A.H.G. - HealthWorld Online
		Asa Gray (1810-1888) is the father of American Botany, and wrote several important botany texts and floras, which can still be found in used book stores today, and are useful for their clear explanation of plant morphology.
		August Wilhelm Eichler (1839-1887), Adolf Engler (1844-1930), and Charles Bessey (1845-1915) helped refine previous schemes to make the system we have used until the last few Years, when even further refined, using modern research methods and equipment, such as chemotaxonomy and electron microscopy, by Dr. Armen Takhtajan, and Dr. Arthur Cronquist.
		These systems are similar, and are in current use in botany texts of the last few years.

		Takhtajania perrieri was originally described in 1963 by the French forest botanist Rene Capuron in the genus Bubbia, known from Australia, New Caledonia and the Lord Howe Islands.
		In St. Louis in June, while celebrating his 87th birthday and the publication of his latest synthesis on the classification of flowering plants, Dr. Takhtajan was presented with a specimen of Takhtajania for the Komarov Botanical Institute in St. Petersburg.
		Both he and the entire international botanical community anxiously await the forthcoming studies that this wonderful rediscovery will engender.
