The APG III system (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III system) of flowering plant classification is the third version of a modern, mostly molecular-based, system of plant taxonomy. The system was published in 2009 by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, 6½ years after its predecessor the APG II system was published, and 11 years after the initial APG system was published in 1998.
