Syllabus der Pflanzenfamilien (1892–) by Adolf Engler (1844–1930) is a complete revision of plant families down to generic level and often even further.

[1] As such it forms part of the Engler system of plant taxonomy.

[2] His modified Eichler schema first appeared in 1886 in his Guide to Breslau Botanic Garden[3] (of which he was the director) and was expanded in his Syllabus in 1892.
