A Textbook Of Bryophytes Pteridophytes Gymnosperms And Paleobotany

The present book is designed for B.Sc. (Gen.) and B.Sc. (Hons.) students of all Indian university. The book is amply illustrated with diagrams. Almost all important genera are discussed giving details of structure, anatomy, developmental stages of reproductive organs from different sections like Bryophytes, Pteridophytes and Gymnospersm. Paleobotany section deals with important fossil genera from Pteridophytes and Gymnospersm. Various comparisons of different genera are given in all sections. Experimental studies of Bryophytes, Pteridophytes and Gymnospersms are discussed from recent literature.

This plant book aims to help identify all extant gymnosperm plants to genus and family level anywhere in the world. The Gymnosperm Handbook is a practical teaching and identification guide, as well as, a useful reference work to the world's gymnosperms designed for both specialists and non-specialists and from beginner to expert. The book contains: (i) descriptions of all gymnosperm families; (ii) morphological notes for all currently recognised genera; (iii) practical keys to genera for all families; and (iv) over 160 images and illustrations.

This 1993 textbook describes and explains the origin and evolution of plants as revealed by the fossil record.

This encyclopedia offers access to the diversity of ferns and seed plants, the most important groups of green land plants. Available information of general and systematic relevance is synthesized at the level of families. Evidence from virtually all disciplines important to modern taxonomy makes the work a most valuable source of reference not only for taxonomists, but for all who are interested in the various aspects of plant diversity. A revised classification includes a complete inventory of genera along with their diagnostic features, keys for identification, and references to the literature. The first volume deals with pteridophytes and gymnosperms.
