Synopsis

The earth sprouts a huge diversity of plant life including 250,000 known species of flowering plants. Many more are waiting to be discovered and classified. Each plant species is carefully divided into categories by its characteristics such as its root system, leaf pattern, and whether it produces seeds. This book provides a detailed account of plants and the methods by which they are classified. Helpful diagrams, drawings, photographs, and sidebars will fascinate readers.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Without classification we could not make sense of the world around us. Plant Variation and Classification explains how our plant classification system works and looks at how scientists use it to identify and group plant species. The book also examines the variation between and within plants species and discusses how and why such variations have occurred.
