RE: planta taxonomy

["Allen and Sandra" <allensandra at boatmans_com>]

Actually Doug,
	Plants are not categorized by similarity in morphology nor phenotype, but
are categorized by seed and flower comparisons.  As you said there are some
plants with incredibly different looking species but they may be very
closely related.  Flowers/fruit/seed are used to this day by plant
taxonomists for categorizing plants.

descendents from no less than six very different lineages spread widely
around the tree of the flowering plants, so it looks like the entire family
