1. Biosystematics: Biosystematics is an “Experimental, ecological and cytotaxonomy” through which life forms are studied and their relationships are defined.
2. Aims of Biosystematics:
The aims of biosystematics are as follows:
- To delimit the naturally occurring biotic community of plant species.
- To establish the evolution of a group of taxa by understanding the evolutionary and phylogenetic trends.
- To involve any type of data gathering based on modem concepts and not only on morphology and anatomy.
- To recognize the various groups as separate biosystematics categories such as ecotypes, ecospecies, cenospecies and comparium.
