Each chapter is followed by review questions. This textbook focuses on seed plants. At the end of the main text, there are additional resources such as the preparation of common reagents, the collection and preparation of plant specimens, a dichotomous key for flowering plant classification, and the basic teaching requirements for "Pharmacognosy," all for reference in teaching.
