An interpretive sign at a botanical garden. There is a vaguely triangular shaped, multi-colored form that is a map of the garden. It is divided into irregular geometric shapes, each a different color. To the left is a list of all the flowering plant taxonomic orders, e.g. Asparagales, Fagales, each color coded. Each color corresponds to a color on the garden map where a few representative species of that order may be found.

At the botanical garden they have a whole exhibit dedicated to angiosperm (flowering plants) systematics (the science of classifying organisms based on their evolutionary relationships). At the entrance there is a display with a cladogram (not shown) and this graphical representation of it (first pic), which is then reproduced as landscape art with representative species for each order planted and labeled.
