Index to all families of seed plants at M and MSB

This index is based on the current classification of plant families at M and MSB which is largely historical with some modifications. Recent updates are indicated. Recently segregated families not contained in the list are likely to be found in those families from which they were segregated. Some families contained in the list are not recognized any longer. When searching for genera of such families, their past and current familial association needs to be considered.
