Perhaps the earliest recognition of Malvaceae as a distinct group of plants was by Adrianus van Royen in his Flora Leydensis (1749), who, in an essay at a natural classification of plants divided them into 20 classes, 6 of which are recognisable as modern families. One of these is Columniferae, which in his work incorporates Malvaceae s.s. and Hermannieae.
Classification, in biology, the systematic categorization of organisms into a coherent scheme. The original purpose of biological classification, or systematics, was to organize the vast number of known plants and animals into categories that could be named, remembered, and discussed.
