!cientific name-consists of a 'en(s an) specie classification
Division -phyta *mycota
Class -ae *eae *mycetes
Or)er -ales
Family *aceae
Taxon+taxa is referre) to each 'ro(p in any system f classification re'ar)less of ran,
!pecie-lo-est level of classification
-as a 'ro(p containin' all the in)ivi)(als of a partic(lar ,in) of plant an)
excl()in' those that are )ifferent.
!ystems of Classification
"rtificial Classification-classification -hich is /ase) (pon ar/itrary criteria -itho(t
re'ar)s for evol(tionary relationships an) emphasi0e) )ifferences s(ch as 'eneral 'ro-th
form1 flo-er color1 leaf shape an) type of /ar,
Nat(ral Classification- is the complete opposite of artificial classification
-classification is -ith re'ar)s to the 'eneral 'ro-th form1 flo-er color1 leaf shape

Types of #epro)(ction in Plants
"sex(al #epro)(ction
