The very foundation of biological sciences is based on the primary knowledge regarding diversity of life forms, their characterization and classification in the process of resolving the evolutionary lineage. Scientists working in the field of natural sciences, both basic and applied, recognize the value of proper identification of plant species. Plant taxonomy research requires true dedication, rigorous field work and herbarium consultation. Good taxonomists engaged in exploration rarely come out with publications of a few pages. There are many professionally dedicated researchers who have spent a lifetime on a particular genus or family.

Abstract


The very foundation of biological sciences is based on the primary knowledge regarding diversity of life forms, their characterization and classification in the process of resolving the evolutionary lineage. Scientists working in the field of natural sciences, both basic and applied, recognize the value of proper identification of plant species. Plant taxonomy research requires true dedication, rigorous field work and herbarium consultation. Good taxonomists engaged in exploration rarely come out with publications of a few pages. There are many professionally dedicated researchers who have spent a lifetime on a particular genus or family.
