2. Introduction
Plant taxonomy is closely allied to plant systematics, and

taxonomy and systematics, however, has changed along

the science that finds, identifies, describes, classifies, and
names plants. Thus making it one of the main branches
of taxonomy(the science that finds, describes, classifies, and
names living things).
