This system is based on fossil recoreds of biochemical, anatomical, morphological,physiological embryological and genetical.The system was initiated by Englerand Prantl(1887-1899) in Die Naturalichen Pflanzefamilien. Inphylogenetic system, flowering plants are placed in ascending series related to complexity of floralmorphology.
The phylogenetic system of classification are mainly the rearrangement of taxonomiccharacters in addition to the phylogenetic information.

In this way,each character is given equal importance and at the same time hundreds of characters can be considered.2.CytotaxonomyCytotaxonomy is based on cytological information like chromosome number, structure, behaviour andtype of chromosomes. For example,(i)Chromosome number is constant for a species, e.g., 46 in man, 48 in apes and potato, 20 inmaize, 16 in onion and 8 in Drosophila.(ii)Behaviour of chromosomes was used by taxonomists during pairing and banding patterns tounderstand the relationships between species e.g., Origin of humans from apes, origin of wheat etc.
