Who was first to use the characteristics of vascular tissues in the classification of plants?
Detailed Explanation:
Augustin Pyramus de Candolle was the first botanist to use vascular tissue characteristics (xylem and phloem) for plant classification, dividing plants into vascular (tracheophytes) and non-vascular (bryophytes) groups.
Engler and Prantl developed a phylogenetic system later, while Bentham and Hooker used morphological traits in their natural system, neither being first to use vascular tissues.
