UNIT I. SYSTEMATICS -- 1: Plant Systematics: An Overview -- 2: Taxonomy and Phylo Genetic Systematics -- UNIT II. EVOLUTION AND DIVERSITY OF PLANTS -- 3: Evolution and Diversity of Green and Land Plants -- 4: Evolution and Diversity of Vascular Plants -- 5: Evolution and Diversity of Woody and Seed Plants -- 6: Evolution of Flowering Plants -- 7: Diversity and Classification of Flowering Plants: Amborellales, Nymphaeales, Austrobaileyales, Magnoliids, Monocots, and Ceratophyllales -- 8: Diversity and Classification of Flowering Plants: Eudicots -- UNIT III. SYSTEMATIC EVIDENCE AND DESCRIPTIVE TERMINOLOGY -- 9: Plant Morphology -- 10: Plant Anatomy and Physiology -- 11: Plant Embryology -- 12: Palynology -- 13: Plant Reproductive Biology -- 14: Plant Molecular Systematics -- UNIUT IV. RESOURCES IN PLANT SYSTEMATICS -- 15: Plant Identification -- 16: Plant Nomenclature -- 17: Plant Collecting and Documentation -- 18: Herbaria and Data Information Systems -- UNIT V. SPECIES CONCEPTS AND CONSERVATION BIOLOGY -- 19: Species and Conservation in Plant Systematics -- Appendix 1: Plant Description -- Appendix 2: Botanical Illustrations -- Appendix 3: Scientific Journals in Plant Systematics -- Appendix 4: Statistics and Morphometrics in Plant Systematics
Summary: Plant Systematics, Third Edition, has made substantial contributions to plant systematics courses at the upper-undergraduate and first year graduate level, with the first edition winning The New York Botanical Garden's Henry Allan Gleason Award for outstanding recent publication in plant taxonomy, plant ecology or plant geography. This third edition continues to provide the basis for teaching an introduction to the morphology, evolution and classification of land plants. A foundation of the approach, methods, research goals, evidence and terminology of plant systematics are presented, along with the most recent knowledge of evolutionary relationships of plants and practical information vital to the field. In this new edition, the author includes greatly expanded treatments on families of flowering plants, as well as tropical trees (all with full-color plates), and an updated explanation of maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference algorithms. Chapters on morphology and plant nomenclature have also been enhanced with new material.
