Plant identification is the determination of a taxon on the basis of overall similarities and differences with other taxa.
For any study based on a taxon, its proper determination is a prerequisite.
There are two methods of identification:
i) Direct Method: Done by comparing an unknown specimen with that of another which has been authoritatively predetermined.
ii) Indirect Method: Done with the help of keys, descriptions, illustrations etc.

How many systems are there for plant identification and how they are working? who have rights to authenticate the species?
ReplyDeleteDear Keshav sir, actually there are 2 methods and not the systems of identification as I have mentioned Direct and Indirect methods. The scientists fromvarious indexed Herbaria around the world have right to authenticate the species
