The names of plant families are mainly derived from Latin or Greek words or from personal names, with the name of the original type genus defining the root of the family name. Since the first edition of Carl Linnaeus's Species Plantarum in 1753, plants have been assigned one epithet or name for their species and one name for their genus, a grouping of related species. These are in turn grouped into families, and all the plants in one family are more closely related to each other than to plants in any other family. Seed-bearing families are listed in Plants of the World by Maarten J. M. Christenhusz, Michael F. Fay and Mark W. Chase, and two updated families in Plants of the World Online. (Full list...)
