PLANT SYSTEMATICS
Plant systematics is a fast developing field but unfortunately with fery few and occasional titles. Frequentre revisions in major classification systems, development of new tools, methodology and concepts send the older books into oblivion far too soon. Taxonomy of Vascular Plants by Lawrence (1951) , which was a rage in the fifties and early sixties was largely replaced by the book principles of Angiosperm Taxonomy by Davis and Heywood (1963). The letter continued its domination in the sixties and seventies until two important publications were simultaneously presented (Luckily with different emphasis on selective topics) by jones and Luchsinger (1979, plant Sytematics) and stace (1980, plant Taxonomy and Biosystematics). They have published revisions in 1986 and 1989 respectively with some improvements. More recently, woodland (1991, contemporary plant systematics) produced updated information in the field. The frequent revisions of contemporary systems of classification by takhtajan (1983, 1987, 1997), dahlgren (1989) and Thorne (1992, 1997 electronic version) have outpaced these textbooks.
