Scientific Classification Objective 3.03 Discuss floriculture and landscape plants.
Scientific Classification of Plants Taxonomy- the science of classifying and
identifying organisms such as plants
Scientific Classification Scientific names are necessary because
the same common name is used for different plants in different areas of the world
Latin is the language used for scientific classification
Scientific Classification Carlos Linnaeus
Swedish botanist Developed the binomial system of naming
plants using two Latin words to indicate the genus and the species
Scientific Classification Scientific Name
First word=genus First letter is capitalized
Second word=species If there are additional words after the
species, they indicate the variety or cultivar Variety is var. Cultivated variety is cv
Scientific Classification Plants in the same genus have similar
characteristics Plants in the same species consistently
produce plants of the same types

Species
4 Most Important Divisions of the Plant Kingdom Thallophytes: algae, fungi, and lichens Bryophytes: true mosses and liverworts Pteriophytes: ferns, horsetails, and club
mosses Spermatophytes: seed-bearing or
flowering plants Gymnosperms: seeds are not in an ovary
(cone) Angiosperm: seeds enclosed in an ovary
(flowering plants)
Activity Choose 2 plants we have covered so far
during Plant ID Find out their Scientific Classification
Find the Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species
Do the plants you chose have anything in common?
