A comparison of Piperaceae and Lamiaceae
We are less aware of the evolution of the plants
than we are of the hierarchy of the animals.
Michal Yakir's system of plants makes clear how
different ferns and thyme are in terms of their
developmental history. There is a similar develop-
mental difference between Chrysanthemum, from
the most highly developed Asteridae subclass, and
the Magnoliaceae family.
