The document outlines the objectives, content, and activities of a botany workshop focusing on plant taxonomy. The workshop aims to develop participants' background in botany and plant taxonomy, appreciate plants' economic importance, and build camaraderie. The document covers the science of plant taxonomy, including identification and classification of plants according to their taxonomic ranks, from kingdom to species. It provides examples of non-vascular and vascular plants classified according to their divisions.

2. OBJECTIVES: engage participants to activities that would develop their background about Botany, especially Plant Taxonomy; appreciate plant’s economic importance; and develop camaraderie among the participants.

4. PLANT TAXONOMY science that finds, describes, classifies, identifies and name plants Two goals are identification and classification of plants Plant identification is the determination of the identity of an unknown plant. Plant classification is the placing of known plants into groups

5. Classifying organisms “ Linnaean taxonomic system” by Carolus Linnaeus “ Taxa” Taxonomy Kingdom: Phylum: Class: Order: Family: Genus: Species: MAJOR TAXONOMIC LEVELS plantae magnoliophyta magnoliopsida rosales rosaceae rosa

6. CHARACTERISTICS OF PLANTS multicellular eukaryotic autotrophic alternative generations in life cycle Undergo photosynthesis have a cell wall made of cellulose

7. Non-vascular plants without a vascular system possess tissues specialized for internal transport of water Division Bryophyta include liverworts and mosses lack water-conducting tissues have rhizoids, stemlike and leaflike structures colonize bare rock Liverworts flattened, lobed bodies and represent a small fraction of bryophyte species With numerous rhizoids

8. Examples of Liverworts

11. 2. Moss stem like structure with radially arrange leaf like structure Examples of Moss

13. Vascular plants have vascular tissue Division Psilophyta seedeless vascular plant has branched stem and lacks true roots and leaves stem is green and carries photosynthesis Example of this is whisk fern

14. EXAMPLE OF WHISK FERN

15. Division Sphenophyta: horsetail Division Lycophyta: club mosses seedless vascular plants do not produce seed Examples

16. Division Pterophyta: ferns have roots and leaves or stem vary in appearance low- lying but some are tall Examples

17. Division cycadophyta: cycads extremely ancient group sister group to all other living seed plants stout and woody trunk with a crown of large, hard and stiff, evergreen leaves have pinnate leaves. Examples

18. Division Coniferophyta: conifers trees or shrubs that bear their seeds in cones Some conifers are the oldest plants on earth. have either needles or scale-like leaves. Most abundant gymnosperms today. Examples

19. Division Gnetophyta: woody plants have different vessel elements mostly woody climbers in tropical forests Examples
