Plant molecular systematics, classical systematics, and morphological cladistics: Comments on the article of A.S. Antonov

Many conflicts between genosystematics and phenosystematics discussed in th e review by A.S. Antonov reflect methods of analysis rather than kinds of d ata; cladistic analyses of morphological data agree more with molecular ana lyses. Molecular data have important limitations, and studies of both molec ules and morphology will be: needed for a complete understanding of plant e volution.
