List of flowering plant families. This list is reproduced from Heywood VH, Brummitt RK, Culham A, and Seberg O. 2007. Flowering Plant Families of the World. Firefly Books and expands upon the list at APG II system. The classification list follows APG II (Soltis et al., Phylogeny and Evolution of Angiosperms, pp. 243-248 (2005).) with some modifications. Families that are accepted by both Heywood et al. and Soltis et al. are in regular font. Families accepted by Soltis et al. but not Heywood et al. are in italic type. Likewise, families accepted by Heywood et al. but not Soltis et al. are in bold type. Names indented under another family name indicate families that are mentioned by Soltis et al. as optionally recognized as distinct from the unindented family name immediately above it. Note: Heywood et al. did not set out to present a new classification scheme for consideration.
