Abstract
The claim of monophyletic origin of angiosperms arose from the confusion of phylogenetic and taxonomic concepts. Unpreconceived studies of extant angiosperms point to more than one archetype. Several lines of angiosperms have simultaneously entered the fossil record; the monocotyledons, proto-Hamamelidales, proto-Laurales and “proteophylls” (possibly ancestral to the Rosidae) are recognized among them. Three groups of Mesozoic seed plants — the Caytoniales, Czekanowskiales and Dirhopalostachyaceae — are distinguished as major sources of angiosperm characters (proangiosperms). Other Mesozoic lineages probably also contributed to the angiosperm character pool. Angiospermization is related to Mammalization and other processes involved in development of the Cenozoic lithosphere and biosphere.
РЕФЕРАТ
Представление о моно филетическом происх ождении покрытосеменных сло жилось в результате смешения филогенети ческих и таксономиче ских принципов. Непредвзя тый анализ современн ых цветковых указывет н а более чем один архетип. Несколь ко линий покрытосеме нных одновремено появили сь в палеонтологичес кой летописи, среди них на иболее важны однодольные, прото-га мамелидовые, протола вровые и “протеофиллы” (возм ожно, предки розоцветных). Главным источником ангиоспе рмных признаков могли быть три группы мезозойск их семенных растений — к ейтониевые. чекановс киевые и диропалостахиевые (проангиоспермы). Другие группы также, в озможно внесли свой вклад в “фонд при знаков”. Ангиосперми зация сопряжена с маммализ ацией и другими процессами, ведущими к формированию литос феры и биосферы.
