Phylogenetic classification systems are based on:
1. all observable characteristics.
2. cytological information like chromosome number, structure, behaviour.
3. evolutionary relationships between the various organisms.
4. natural affinities among the organisms and consider, not only the external features, but also internal features, like ultra-structure, anatomy, embryology and phytochemistry.
