Define Systematic Botany - Taxonomy?

We will now learn something mare about systematic botany. The early recognition of harmful and useful plants was the beginning of systematic botany. When the language was developed it was possible that observation of plants was accumulated and this knowledge could be passed from one generation to the next. Today, the basic recognition and grouping of plants has developed into a highly complex science concerned with classifying plants into groups based on postulated evolutionary relationships. Systematic botany includes all activities that are part of the effort to organise and record the diversity of plants and acquaints us with the fascinating differences among the species of plants. Thus systematic provide an inventory of plants or animals, scheme of identification, their names and a system of classification.

Systematic is basic to other scientific fields, but also it depends on other disciplines for information and data useful in constructing classifications. A sound classification bringing related organisms together, may suggest problems worthy of study by ecologists, plant breeders, pharmacologists, horticulturists and biochemists.
