Abstract
The points of emphasis in plant systematics are undergoing change and the course content has been broadened to include a spectrum of factual data ranging from molecules to ecosystems. The principles range from simple genetics to com- plex correlation techniques of determining evolutionary relationships. As the coordinator of all comparative aspects of plant biology, systematics should unify botanical knowledge, demonstrate what the kinds of plants are and what they do in the light of their similarities and differences, and generate an understanding of plant diversity as a whole.
