What problems in classification existed prior to the development of an international classification system?

Same problems that exists today, long after the classification system has been developed and generally accepted as a standard: 1. People don't always follow the standard. For example, many plants have common names that remain firmly entrenched. Let's face it, everybody knows what a sunflower is, but how many would recognize it's official name of Helianthus annuus? How many could even pronounce it? 2. As our collective knowledge increases, the standard classifications may be changed. In the 1990s, florist mums stopped being Chrysanthemum and became Dendranthema. After years of debate, they became Chrysanthemum again. Go figure.

Why was the Henry system of fingerprint classification used more than Vucetich's system?

You have to remember what the world was like politically at the time. Henry was an Englishman, and head of the Metropolitain Police in London. When he developed his system (with the help of Haque and Bose, of course), it was introduced to Scotland Yard, who in turn introduced it to a variety of U.S. police officials at the World's Fair in St. Louis in 1904. Once trained, it just stuck. Vucetich simply did not have as much access and therefore influence to the outside world as Henry did. Vucetich's system is actually easier to use, and just as accurate if you include its subdivisions. Many Spanish-speaking countries still use it, especially in South America. And Interpol uses both systems. The reason Henry is used in England and the U.S. is simply a matter of cultural advertising back in the early 1900s. == == The Henry system was more accurate
