The chief merit of Bentham and Hooker's classification is that
it is based on evolutionary concept
it also considered the phylogenetic aspects
it is a natural system of classification of all groups of plants
it is based on the number of shared characters of various organisms
In taxonomic hierarchy, various categories are arranged in
vertical series
horizontal series
ascending series
descending series
