The APG II system is the successor of the APG system. Each of these systems represents the broad consensus of a number of systematic botanists, united in the APG, working at several institutions worldwide. Continued development beyond APG II can be followed at the APG-companion site .
The APG II system has proven to be influential and has been adopted in whole or in part (sometimes with modifications) in a number of recent references, including the Encyclopædia Brittanica and the 3rd edition of The plant-book.
