Adanson system

The Adanson system published by French botanist Michel Adanson as the Familles des plantes in two volumes in 1763 was an important step in botanical nomenclature by establishing the ordering of genera into families. Michel Adanson listed 58 families, divided by sections, for the 1615 genera known to him. He gave these both French and Latin names. The system was completed by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu in 1789.
