The Stebbins system is a angiosperm plants classification drawn up by the American botanist G. Ledyard Stebbins (1906-2000). The system was published in the book Flowering plants: evolution above the species level (1974),[1][2] and was followed by Vernon Heywood (1927-) in his Flowering plants of the world (1978).[3]
This is a selected list of the more influential systems. There are many other systems, for instance a review of earlier systems, published by Lindley in his 1853 edition, and Dahlgren (1982). Examples include the works of Scopoli, Ventenat, Batsch and Grisebach.
