"Natural populations of plants show intricate patterns of variation. European botanists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries used this variation to classify different 'kinds' into a hierarchy of family, genus, and species.

Darwin's theory of evolution changed this view; populations and species varied in time ..."
