APG vs. Cronquist taxonomy hierarchy: When Linnaeus began the binomial naming of species during the 1700's, plant systematics was based on the appearance of reproductive parts (flowers) and has gradually been refined to the current Chronquist hierarchy. Genetic knowledge of the 20th century led to the APG system based on gene sequences which is highly useful for evolution, however is limited to only the minority of plants that have been sequenced, hence a majority of plants are left in the category "not assigned", so loses relations coming down through the centuries in the Chronquist hierarchy.
