Notes
[eedit | eedit soorce]- ↑ In 1964, Takhtajan proponed that clesses including Monocotyledons, be formally named wi the suffix -atae, so that the principle o teepification resultit in Liliatae for monocotyledons.[6] The proposal wis formally descrived in 1966 bi Cronquist, Takhtajan an Zimmermann,[1] frae that is derived the descriptor "liliates".
