Journal ArticleDOI

The number of known plants species in the world and its annual increase

Maarten J. M. Christenhusz, +1 more
- 20 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: Phytotaxa is currently contributing more than a quarter of the ca 2000 species that are described every year, showing that it has become a major contributor to the dissemination of new species discovery, but the rate of discovery is slowing down.
Journal ArticleDOI

A linear sequence of extant families and genera of lycophytes and ferns

Maarten J. M. Christenhusz, +2 more
- 18 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: A linear classification to the extant lycophytes and ferns based on current phylogenetic knowledge is provided, which provides a standardized guide for organisation of fern collections into a more natural sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new classification and linear sequence of extant gymnosperms

Maarten J. M. Christenhusz, +5 more
- 18 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: A new classification and linear sequence of the gymnosperms based on previous molecular and morphological phylogenetic and other studies is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trends and concepts in fern classification

Maarten J. M. Christenhusz, +2 more
- 01 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: A classification is presented based on the current understanding of relationships of fern and lycopod clades, which shows a trend from highly artificial, based on an interpretation of a few extrinsic characters, to natural classifications derived from a multitude of intrinsic characters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome evolution of ferns: evidence for relative stasis of genome size across the fern phylogeny.

James W. Clark, +12 more
- 01 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: Genome size was correlated with chromosome number across all ferns despite some substantial variation in both traits, and a trend towards conservation of the amount of DNA per chromosome was observed, although Osmundaceae and Psilotaceae have substantially larger chromosomes.
