This book covers introductory taxonomy and some important contributions
of selected taxonomist, followed by systems of classification. As per syllabus
new topic have been added-Taxonomic Literature and Sources of Data for
Systematics. Some topics have elaborations on ICN and few selected families
of angiosperms. The topic on Botanical Gardens have been extremely well
presented with some selected photographs.
