The artificial system of classification was mainly based
on vegetative characters or on the androecium structure
(system given by Linnaeus). Such system separated the
closely related species since they were based on a few
characteristics. The artificial system gives equal
weightage to vegetative and sexual characteristics. This
is not convincing because the vegetative characters are
more easily affected by the environment.
