1 THE IDENTIFICATION AND NOMENCLATURE OF PLANTS IAFNR Plant and Soil Sciences Module

2 TAXONOMY  The process or system of describing the way in which different living things are related by putting them in groups  Different ways to classify plants  Phylogenetic—how they look  Environmental—where they grow  Agricultural—what use they are grown for  Morphological—how their structure compares to each other

3 TAXONOMIC PROCESS AND RANKS  Identifying lower subgroups of plants  Family  Genus  Species  Nomenclature  Names derived from Latin or Greek  Phonetic and give clue to plant characteristic or habitat  Folius, phyllon, phyla- leaves  Flora- flowers Image retrieved from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biol ogical_classification

4 BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE (SCIENTIFIC NAME)  Nomenclature  an international system of standardized New Latin names used in biology for kinds and groups of kinds of animals and plants  Two-word name  Includes Genus and Species (Genus species)  Classified based upon reproduction system and flowers  Lower ranks specific to flower, leaves, and other characteristics Common NameScientific Name Tulip TreeLiriodendron tulipifera Purple ConeflowerEchinacea purpurea Green Bell PepperCapsicum annuum Haberno ChiliCapsicum chinense Do you recognize anything about these scientific names?

5 OTHER SUBGROUPS  Cultivars  Genetically true through propagation  Produced asexually through cuttings  Hybrids  Natural and Intentional occurrence  Denoted Genus X Species Common NameScientific Name Grape FruitCitrus × paradisi Did you know that Grapefruit is a Hybrid plant?

6 CLASSIFICATION CHART PROJECT  Example Plant Classification Chart  http://popplet.com/ap p/#/2152151 http://popplet.com/ap p/#/2152151  In your chart fully classify  1 Polypodiophyta  1 Gymnosperm  1 Angiosperm
