A person engaged in the study of botany is called a botanist.

However, attention is still given to these groups by botanists, and fungi ( including lichens ), and photosynthetic protists are usually covered in introductory botany courses.

Scientific classification in botany is a method by which botanists group and categorize organisms by biological type, such as genus or species.

In botany, the author abbreviation used to indicate Linnaeus as the authority for species ' names is L. In 1959, Carl Linnaeus was designated as the lectotype for Homo sapiens, which means that following the nomenclatural rules, Homo sapiens was validly defined as the animal species to which Linnaeus belonged.

It is also a recognised source for medicine, art, mineralogy, zoology, botany, geology and many other topics not discussed by other classical authors.

In botany, a fruit is a part of a flowering plant that derives from specific tissues of the flower, mainly one or more ovaries.

In botany, seeds are ripened ovules ; fruits are the ripened ovaries or carpels that contain the seeds and a nut is a type of fruit and not a seed.

** Node ( botany ), the place on a plant stem where a leaf is attached

* Volunteer ( botany ), a plant that is of a different type from the rest of the crop

In the fields of botany, phycology, and mycology, the naming of taxa is governed by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants.

He planted the first botanical garden, the one which would eventually be tended by Carl Linnaeus and is kept today as a museum of 18th century botany under the name Linnaeus ' Garden.

In botany, a seed plant embryo is part of a seed, consisting of precursor tissues for the leaves, stem ( see hypocotyl ), and root ( see radicle ), as well as one or more cotyledons.

This color list was intended for biology and botany and is now on the Internet:

* " Binomial nomenclature " is the correct term for botany, although it is also used by zoologists.

The authority is written in slightly different ways in zoology and botany: under the ICZN the surname is written in full together with the date ( usually only the year ) of publication, whereas under the ICN the name is generally abbreviated and the date omitted.

In botany, there are many ranks below species and although the name itself is written in three parts, a " connecting term " ( not part of the name ) is needed to show the rank.

A branch ( or, ) or tree branch ( sometimes referred to in botany as a ramus ) is a woody structural member connected to but not part of the central trunk of a tree ( or sometimes a shrub ).

In botany, a bud is an undeveloped or embryonic shoot and normally occurs in the axil of a leaf or at the tip of the stem.

A collection of the marine algae is housed in the Herbarium of the botany department of the University College Cork.

The genus Rubus is a very complex one, particularly the blackberry / dewberry subgenus ( Rubus ), with polyploidy, hybridization, and facultative apomixis apparently all frequently occurring, making species classification of the great variation in the subgenus one of the grand challenges of systematic botany.

* c. 850 — Al-Dinawari is considered the founder of Arabic botany for his Book of Plants, in which he describes at least 637 plants and discussed plant evolution from its birth to its death, describing the phases of plant growth and the production of flowers and fruit.

The term was adapted in 1920 by Hans Winkler, professor of botany at the University of Hamburg, Germany.

* Sucker ( botany ), a term for a basal shoot that grows from the base of a tree or shrub

The term is widely replaced by author in zoological nomenclature, but is still in use in botany.

In botany, the term is also used to describe a condition of thickened surfaces of leaves or other plant parts.

A nut in cuisine is a much less restrictive category than a nut in botany, as the term is applied to many seeds that are not botanically true nuts.

In botany the term " fellfield " describes an ecoregion, ecosystem, habitat, or plant community.

In botany, a herbarium ( plural: herbaria ) – sometimes known by the Anglicized term herbar – is a collection of preserved plant specimens.

The usage of the term type is somewhat complicated by slightly different uses in botany and zoology.

It is also a term in botany and gardening:

In botany, stipule ( Latin stipula: straw, stalk ) is a term coined by Linnaeus which refers to outgrowths borne on either side ( sometimes just one side ) of the base of a leafstalk ( the petiole ).

The term ' coccus ' is used in botany to denote a mericarp or 1-seeded segment of a schizocarp.

Calyptra is a scientific term used in botany.

The term has no official ranking status in botany ; the term refers to the collective descendants produced from a common ancestor that share a uniform morphological or physiological character.

An extended explanation of the term landrace as used in botany ( and by extension in agriculture, horticulture, anthropology, etc.

The term and concept is used much more often and much more formally in zoology than it is in botany, and the definition is dependent on the nomenclatural Code that applies:

In botany there are many ranks below that of species ( in zoology there is only one such rank, subspecies, so that this " connecting term " is unnecessary there ).

The term perianth has two similar but separate meanings in botany:

The term polygamomonoecious has two meanings in botany:

The term sulcus also is used in botany and palynology to describe the surface morphology of seeds and pollen grains, and in Invertebrate zoology to describe folds, grooves, and boundaries, especially at the edges of sclerites or between segments.

The term " eudicots " has subsequently been widely adopted in botany to refer to one of the two largest clades of angiosperms ( constituting over 70 % of angiosperm species ), monocots being the other.
