Pages: 1774

About The Author: Michael G. Simpson

Education: 
B.S.: University of Florida
M.S.: University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Ph.D. : Duke University

General Research Interests: 
Plant systematics, plant taxonomy, floristics.

RESEARCH INTERESTS:
he has a research interest in the plant systematics lab that focuses on the systematics and evolution of land plants with three general objectives to infer the phylogenetic relationships of plant groups and to use that pattern of evolutionary history to assess aspects of character evolution, biogeography, ecology, and evolutionary process. The second objective is to investigate the delimitation of plant species and infraspecies, especially in evaluating rare/endangered taxa. Last but most important is to discover the plant species and community structure of regions in floristic studies.

About the Content:

Plant Systematics is an introduction to the morphology, evolution, and classification of land plants. The objective is
to present a foundation of the approach, methods, research goals, evidence, and terminology of plant systematics and to summarize information on the most recent knowledge of evolutionary relationships of plants as well as practical information vital to the field. The author has tried to present the material in a condensed, clear manner, such that the beginning student can better digest the more important parts of the voluminous information in the field and acquire
more detailed information from the literature.

Who should read this book?

The plant Systematics by Simpson PDF Book is meant to serve students at the college upper-undergraduate and graduate levels in plant systematics or taxonomy courses, although portions of the book may be used in flora courses and much of Plant Systematics by Simpson PDF Book 3rd. the edition could be used in courses in plant morphology, diversity, or general botany. Each chapter has an expanded Table of Contents on the first page, a feature my students recommended as very useful. Numerous line drawings and colour photographs are used throughout.

What are the key features of Plant Systematics by Simpson PDF Book 3rd edition:

A key feature is that illustrated plant material is often dissected and labelled to show important
diagnostic features. At the end of each chapter are (1) Review Questions, which go over the chapter material; (2)
Exercises, whereby a student may apply the material; and (3) References for Further Study, listing some of the basic
and recent references. The literature cited in the references is not exhaustive, so students are encouraged to do literature
searches on their own. Websites are listed for some chapters.

Chapter 6 deals with the evolution of flowering plants, describing the apomorphies for that group and
presenting a synopsis of their origin. Chapters 7 and 8 describe specific groups of flowering plants. In Chapter 7
the non-eudicot groups are treated, including the earliest diverging angiosperm lineages and the monocotyledons.
Chapter 8 covers the eudicots, which make up the great majority of angiosperms. In these two chapters, numerous
flowering plant families (166 of the 472 recognized here) are described in detail, accompanied by photographs and illustrations.

Reference to Chapter 9 and occasionally to Chapters 10–14 (or use of the comprehensive Glossary) may be needed with regard to the technical terms. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group IV system of classification is used throughout, with some exceptions. This system uses orders as the major taxonomic rank in grouping families of close relationship and has proven extremely useful in dealing with the tremendous diversity of the flowering plants.
