Features: This book is a long-term curriculum textbook for the undergraduate and graduate integrated program in Pharmaceutical Sciences at Peking University. The content of "Seed Plant Taxonomy" for former master's degree students has been incorporated into this textbook. The taxonomy follows the Cronquist system, and the families included can be selected by undergraduate students. For graduate students, it is particularly important to strengthen the study of evolutionary and systematic relationships. There are fewer medicinal plants among spore plants, and only the key points are introduced. The origin of angiosperms pays attention to absorbing the latest research findings from domestic and international studies in the past one or two years. In the section on microscopic structure, the cytological content has been deepened, and knowledge of development has been added. Additionally, the distribution of medicinal plant resources in China and the prospects of medicinal botany in the 21st century have been included. Summaries and review questions are listed at the end of each chapter. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and master's students in higher medical colleges across the country. It can also be used as a reference book for students in comprehensive universities, normal universities, agricultural and forestry universities who are pursuing master's or doctoral degrees in pharmaceutical sciences. At the same time, it can also be used as a training textbook for senior personnel engaged in pharmaceutical management and production.
