Introduction to Taxonomy of Angiosperms by Verma,Verma B. K. Pdf
Taxonomy is one of the oldest biological disciplines. This book presents an account of general principles and aims of taxonomy in a comprehensive manner. It has been written mainly to cater the needs of undergraduate students pursuing courses in Botany/Life Sciences/Plant Sciences, but it will be useful for postgraduate students of these disciplines as well. The book gives a critical account of the important systems of classification and salient features of the APG II (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, 2003) system of plant taxonomy. It mentions the important rules of plant nomenclature, and various codes of nomenclature including the latest Vienna Code of 2006. Further, it discusses the usefulness of anatomy, embryology, palynology, chemistry, cytology and ecology under current trends in plant taxonomy. A thorough coverage of profusely illustrated 50 important dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous angiospermic families is the hallmark of this book. Each family is described covering the following points: Distribution, vegetative features, floral description, morphological nature of organs, further classification, affinities with other families, economic importance and description of common plant(s). Finally, the book covers the different aspects and theories related to the origin of angiosperms, and elucidates the methods and techniques of herbarium development and maintenance. KEY FEATURES: Presents a key to families described in the book. Provides a pro forma for the description of angiosperms. Includes a glossary of important technical terms. Lists the important Herbaria of India and the world.

Taxonomy of Angiosperms by A. V. S. S. Sambamurty Pdf
Taxonomy of Angiosperms is designed for B.Sc. (H) and M.Sc. students of Botany in various universities. The book is divided into two parts; Part I deals with the Principles of Angiosperm Taxonomy and Part II deals with families. The book is amply illustrated with examples. Some of the important chapters in Part I comprise Different Classifications, Nomenclature, Biosystematics, Modern Trends in Taxonomy, Chemotaxonomy, Numerical Taxonomy etc. Part II deals with about 214 families of which 55 are discussed in detail and summarized accounts of the rest are given for advanced students. The book also comes loaded with numerous appendices like comparison of classifications, floral diagrams and floral formulae, questions etc. The book will cater to the needs of Botany students pursuing B.Sc. (H), M.Sc. and related fields like Medical Botany, Pharmacy, Agricultural Botany and Horticulture.

A Textbook of Botany: Angiosperms by BP Pandey Pdf
This textbook presents a comprehensive treatment of Angiosperms by discussing its vital components, Taxonomy, Anatomy, Embryology including Tissue Culture and Economic Botany. Written in a simple and lucid style, it has abundance of relevant illustrations with self-explanatory diagrams. Information on new angiospermic families enhances the utility of the book. It caters primarily to the requirements of undergraduate students of Botany and would also be a useful source of reference for postgraduate students & candidates appearing for several competitive examinations.
This fourth edition of Plant Systematics is completely revised and updated. It incorporates the updated International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants (Shenzhen Code, 2018), the new version of PhyloCode (Beta version of Phylocode 5, 2014), APweb version 14 (September, 2018), revised Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification (APG IV, 2016), new Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group Classification (PPG I, 2016), besides the updates since the publication of third edition. The book is a blend of classical fundamental aspects and recent developments, especially in the field of molecular systematics, cladistics and computer identification. Special attention has been given to information on botanical nomenclature, identification, molecular systematics and phylogeny of angiosperms. The complicated concepts of phylogeny, taxometrics and cladistics have been explained with a view to providing a comparison between these diverse but interactive fields of study. An attempt has been made to build upon a common example when exploring different methods, especially in procedures of identification, taxometrics and cladistics. The major systems of classification are evaluated critically. Discussion on major families of Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms, especially those of major phylogenetic interest, form a major portion of this edition. The ebook includes nearly 500 color photographs set out in 36 pages covering plants from different parts of the world. In addition, 305 black & white illustrations have been included to provide a better understanding of the plants covered in the book.
Practical Taxonomy Of Angiosperms by R. K. Sinha Pdf
Practical Taxonomy of Angiosperms presents the subject in a systematic manner with well labelled diagrams and flow charts. A sincere effort has been made to make this book more informative and useful by covering all the important aspects of the subject. Spread in five chapters it deals with: * Morphology of angiosperms where terminology used in taxonomic description of plants is arranged alphabetically—under subheads stem, leaves, flowers etc. * Taxonomy of angiosperms. Principles of taxonomy, handling of an artificial key to a flora and diagnostic features of common angiospermic families. * Description, systematization and identification of 84 plants of 44 families of angiosperms. * Brief account of 143 plants of different families. * Comparison of allied common angiospermic families in tabular form. * Economic importance of 106 familiar plants. * Differences between allied terminology (e.g. phyllode, phylloclade, silqua & siliqula.) are presented in tabular form. * Artificial key to the common families of angiosperms. * Upgraded standard of practical exercises on plant taxonomy.
Presents the principles and trends in the taxonomy of angiosperms. This book places stress on the definitions, methodology and concepts of taxonomy. It compares various systems of classifications and explains intricate rules of plant nomenclature. It provides information on important herbaria and botanical gardens of the world.
