Studying structural multivariation of plants we use three categories of modules – elementary, universal and basic. We single out four groups according to their habit type. The data obtained are compared with the concept of archetype, refrain and meron according to S.V. Meyen. Absolute age of the species was suggested on the basis of features under discussion.<
