Description

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of systematic botany, focusing on the classification, identification, and naming of plants. It covers the principles and methods of plant taxonomy, including the use of morphological, molecular, and phylogenetic techniques to classify plant species and understand their evolutionary relationships. The book discusses the history and development of plant classification systems, from early taxonomical frameworks to modern systems based on genetic data. It also explores the practical applications of plant systematics in conservation, agriculture, and ecology. With clear explanations, diagrams, and examples of plant families, genera, and species, the book offers a detailed overview of plant diversity and its classification. It is an essential resource for students and researchers in botany, ecology, and environmental science, providing the foundational knowledge required to study plant taxonomy and contribute to the scientific understanding of plant life.
