Description
This textbook, titled “A Text Book of Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms”, is an academic resource meticulously crafted for undergraduate students (B.Sc. 2nd Semester), particularly those enrolled at Sri Dev Suman Uttarakhand University, and is aligned fully with the mandates of the New Education Policy (NEP) –2020. With a vision to integrate conceptual clarity, regional relevance, and modern pedagogy, this book bridges classical botanical knowledge and contemporary advancements in plant sciences. The book’s structure and content are designed in accordance with the revised syllabus prescribed by the University, keeping in mind the intellectual and practical needs of undergraduate students in biological sciences. It provides a comprehensive and integrated approach to understanding the biology and diversity of vascular plants, focusing on three major groups: Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms.
The book is divided into well-defined units and chapters, each covering essential aspects. Exercise questions, short notes, and MCQs are provided at the end of each chapter to enhance understanding and prepare students for university examinations and other life science-related exams.
The inclusion of region-specific examples and references to the biodiversity of the Himalayas and Uttarakhand, especially the flora found in the Garhwal region, offers students a localized perspective that encourages interest in native plant conservation and field-based learning. Botanical terminology has been simplified to suit students from Hindi and English-medium backgrounds, ensuring that learners from diverse academic environments can equally benefit from the material.
This textbook is not only suitable for classroom teaching and examination preparation but also acts as a strong foundational text for students interested in pursuing postgraduate studies, biodiversity research, botany-based entrepreneurship, or careers in education and environmental conservation.
