Abstract
The distribution of a great number of character states in monocotyledons has recently been surveyed by Dahlgren and Clifford (1982). This presentation deals with the possibilities of using these characters in estimates of monocotyledon phylogeny. Various hypotheses of monocotyledon evolution and phylogeny are discussed in the light of our current knowledge of characters, and some theoretical and practical problems in cladistic analysis of monocotyledons are pointed out.
If organisms have reached their present state by a process of evolution, it follows that they have a built-in classification, and man’s problem is to find it. This is quite a different problem from that presented to the classifier of man-made objects. . .
