Scholten Plants Table

The sibling of the Periodic Table: Jan Scholten's plant code laid out as three tables, from the whole plant kingdom down to a family's remedies by stage.

The Plants Table kingdom view in Similia: seven phyla down the side, seven series across the top and a class in each occupied cell

Three tables, one plant code

Scholten's plant code has three series before the phases — the phylum, the class and the subclass — and the Plants Table gives each of them a table of its own.

  • The kingdom table places every class at its phylum and series, including classes that hold no remedy yet.
  • Open a class to see its subclasses by phase, with the order at each position.
  • Open a subclass to see Scholten's grid of phases and subphases, with the families in its cells.
  • Every position carries its Scholten code: Solanales is 665.7, Atropoideae 665.71.
  • The breadcrumb takes you back to the class table or the kingdom in one click.

From a family to its remedies

Select a family and its remedies are laid out across Scholten's 18 stages, just below the grid.

  • Each remedy sits at its stage: Belladonna is 665.71.06, stage 6 of Atropoideae.
  • The panel beside the grid shows the family's place in all three series, with its chapter.
  • Open a remedy from the stage strip to read it in the materia medica, and Back returns you to the same table and family.
  • A remedy with a dashed border has no chapter in a book available to your account.

Search, read and share

Find any family, order, class, remedy or chapter word, and read Scholten's own chapter for every position.

  • Search highlights the matching families, and class and order cells show how many of their families match.
  • Every heading — phylum, class, subclass, order, series, phase, subphase and stage — opens its chapter from Jan Scholten's Qjure or Wonderful Plants.
  • The address bar keeps your position, so a link opens the same table for anyone with access.
  • Switch between the Periodic Table and the Plants Table with the buttons at the top of either table.
