Abstract
Algae comprise a much more diverse group of organisms than do the flowering plants, but this is ignored by LCC. Using the family as the basic unit of classification for algae, LCC puts all families together alphabetically, as for flowering plants. However, all flowering plant families are in the same botanical division, whereas algal families fall into many fundamentally different divisions. Alphabetical arrangement of families, mixed with higher taxa, results in very particular groupings of unlike subjects.DDC uses divisions rather than families for algal literature and follows a hierarchical arragement that corresponds to botanical classification. DDC's hierarchy is superior to LCC's alphabetical arrange ment of habitats, but for the applied science aspects, LCC allows for better specifity than DDC
