Plant Systematics, 3rd Edition, is a textbook that introduces land plant classification, evolution, and morphology. Written by Michael G. Simpson and published by Academic Press in 2019, the volume establishes the foundational methods, research goals, evidence, and descriptive terminology of plant systematics.
The text examines phylogenetic principles, evolutionary diversity across major land plant lineages, and sources of comparative biological data. It also addresses essential systematic practices, including plant identification and nomenclature.
Intended for upper-undergraduate and graduate students as well as researchers across botany and related plant sciences, the work features cladograms, drawings, and photographs to illustrate structural traits and evolutionary relationships.
