Solution

The correct option is D Engler and Prantl
  • Initially, the Phylogenetic system was proposed by Engler and Prantl. In their treatise 'Die Naturlichen Pflanzen Familien', they arranged the flowering plants according to the increasing complexity of their floral morphology.
  • John Hutchinson was a British botanist associated with Royal botanic gardens, Kew, England. His phylogenetic system first appeared as "The Families of Flowering plants " in two volumes.
  • Carolus Linnaeus was a Swedish botanist who formalized binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as The Father of Taxonomy.
  • George Bentham was an English botanist whose classification of seed plants (Spermatophyta), based on an exhaustive study of all known species, served as a foundation for modern systems of vascular plant taxonomy.
So the correct option is 'Engler and Prantl'.
