Taxonomy is the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms and includes all plants, animals and microorganisms of the world. Taxonomy identifies and enumerates the components of biological diversity providing basic knowledge underpinning management and implementation of the convention on biological diversity. Angiosperms are a taxonomic class of plants in which the mature seed is surrounded by the ovule. Living gymnosperms are a diverse group of plants, most of which bear their sporangia in large, prominent strobili or cones. These strobili are similar to those of lycopsids and horsetails. Strobili consist of a shortened stem with several modified leaves that bear sporangia. Like all seed plants, gymnosperms are heterosporous. The sporangia that generate the male microspores and female megaspores are usually borne on separate cones. This book deals with the principles of angiosperm taxonomy and gymnosperms.
