Kubitzki, K. et al. (1990 ongoing). The families and genera of vascular plants.
The system is important as being a comprehensive, multivolume treatment of the vascular plants, with descriptive treatments of all families and genera, mostly by specialists in those groups. The Kubitzki system has served as the family-level reference to pteridophyte and gymnosperm classification, as well as for the angiosperm groups published up to that date, for the influential dictionary: Divisions Non-seed-bearing plants Equisetophyta Lycopodiophyta Psilotophyta Pteridophyta Superdivision Spermatophyta Pinophyta Cycadophyta Ginkgophyta Gnetophyta Magnoliophyta The vascular plants are those plants that have specialized cells for conducting water and sap within their tissues, including the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, but not mosses, algae, and the like (nonvascular...

The classification system in the initial angiosperm volumes closely resembles the Cronquist system in ordinal and family arrangements, but later volumes have been influenced by recent molecular systematic studies. The recent volume on Malvales adopts a classification close to that of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group: The Cronquist system is a scheme for the classification of flowering plants (or angiosperms). ... The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group is an international group of systematic botanists who have come together to try to establish a consensus view of the taxonomy of flowering plants in the light of the rapid rise of molecular systematics. ...
