Features: Plant taxonomy is divided into two parts: morphology and anatomy, and this volume focuses on systematic classification. The author attempts to elucidate plant phylogeny from an evolutionary perspective, incorporating geological history and new plant fossil data. In fungi, the concept of fungi proposed by Qiu Weifan and others is adopted. For ferns, the Qin Renchang system is used, while for seed plants, the Engler system is employed. Additionally, the polysepalous's flowering plant system and Zhang Hongda's seed plant system are introduced. When discussing the current developments in plant systematics, the methods of cladistics and molecular systematics are emphasized. This book can serve as a textbook for comprehensive university biology and biotechnology programs, as well as for teacher training colleges, agricultural and forestry colleges, and medical colleges. It is also suitable for reference use by researchers, teachers, and professionals in related fields.
