  Australian Systematic Botany Society
Conversely, Cronquist reveals an essentially phenetic approach to systematics on page 2: "taxonomy is a study aimed at producing a system of classification of organisms which best reflects the totality of their similarities and differences".
Cronquist makes a common error in suggesting that "taxa are properly established on the basis of multiple correlations of characters" (page 5; emphasis is mine).
Cronquist correctly rejects the hypothesis of an "Amentiferae" ancestor, in which the unisexual strobili of the Gnetales are homologised with those of hamamelid families with catkins (Wettstein 1907).

Most of Cronquist's constellations and concepts are undoubtedly wise and have a greater public appeal than those of other classifications, in which the hierarchy is more complicated or the orders and families split into more entities or both.
Cronquist's conservative approach is most obvious in the case of the Liliioflorae.
Cronquist claims that the earliest angiosperms were probably shrubs of riparian habitats and had monosulcate pollen grains and leaves with irregular pinnate-reticulate venation.

 Cronquist system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A system of plant taxonomy, the Cronquist system is a scheme for the classification of flowering plants (or angiosperms).
This system was developed by Arthur Cronquist (1919-1992) in his texts An Integrated System of Classification of Flowering Plants (1981) and The Evolution and Classification of Flowering Plants (1968; 2n edition, 1988).
Cronquist's system places flowering plants into two broad classes, monocotyledons and dicotyledons.

 [No title]
The basic method involved in compiling this paper involved studying in detail Cronquist's taxonomical system outlined in his 1981 work "An integrated system of classification of flowering plants", and finding out where the 12 genera of plants commonly regarded as being seagrasses are classified under that system.
Cronquist believes that monocots evolved from fresh water aquatic dicots, perhaps from a group resembling the modern dicot order Nympheales (the group that contains the water lily and the lotus).
This is also not such a drastic departure from Cronquist, the basic difference being that Cronquist considers the characteristics of these 3 subfamilies to be strong enough to split them off from Potomogetonaceae and give them full family status.

 NASCAR.com - Gibbs team looking to get back on track - April 9, 2001
Cronquist and the entire Gibbs organization are all working on that part of it -- while they all accept that some amount of bad luck is an inevitable byproduct of racing, they haven't yet come to accept the significant increase in failures that has bedeviled the teams thus far in 2001.
Like Cronquist -- "Trust me, I ain't slept too good since that first [engine failure]", he says -- team owner Gibbs is frustrated by the glut of problems.
Cronquist and Gibbs and everyone associated with Joe Gibbs Racing (but especially Cronquist) are likely hopeful that Sunday's Virginia 500 signals the end of their long run of bad luck.

This new manual is a companion volume to be used in conjunction with the 1991 Gleason and Cronquist Manual of Vascular Plants of Northeastern United States and Adjacent Canada (New York Botanical Garden, reprinted in 1993 and 1995), which itself contains no illustrations.
Prior to this date, botanists using the 1991 Gleason and Cronquist Manual could refer for illustrations to the 1952 Illustrated Flora, but found doing so was difficult.
In a typical illustration sequence, the entire plant is shown, and beside it an enlarged floret, and then exploded views of diagnostic details such as spikelets, awns, ovaries, seeds, nutlets and stipules.

 Illustrated Companion To Gleason And Cronquist's Manual Soon To Be Available From The New York Botanical Gardens
No matter how detailed and thoughtfully rendered written descriptions of plant species may be, there is no substitute for a good line drawing to confirm or reject plant identification.
The volume was edited by Noel H. Holmgren and collaborators and is based on the original artwork of the New Britton and Brown Illustrated Flora of the Northeastern United States and Adjacent Canada, published in 1952 and now out of print.
But the new book is much more than a reprint -- it has been completely restructured and richly enhanced to include new illustrations of several species not treated in the earlier work as well as many useful diagnostic details previously omitted from the old illustrations.

Also not included are other recent proposals for new circumscriptions of families such as Verbenaceae and Lamiaceae or Scrophulariaceae sensu lato; these groups are retained with their traditional circumscriptions and places as per Cronquist (1981) pending greater stability and acceptance of inferred relationships.
Geographic coverage for the Classification Report is as follows: liverworts, hornworts, mosses, and lichens of North America, vascular plants of the US and its Caribbean territories.
