Angiosperm Phylogeny Website

The Angiosperm Phylogeny Website (or APweb) is a well-known[1][2] website dedicated to research on angiosperm phylogeny and taxonomy.

The site is hosted by the Missouri Botanical Garden website and maintained by researchers, Peter F. Stevens and Hilary M. Davis.[3] Peter F. Stevens is a member of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG). The taxonomy presented is broadly based on the work of the APG, with modifications to incorporate new results.
