Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Angiosperms represent the most taxonomically diverse group of land plants; according to the different estimates, this group encompasses between 250,000 and 300,000 species distributed across practically all regions of the planet. Angiosperms have great economic importance and, for this reason, at least five centuries ago, studies began with a view to classifying this group of plants, which species cultivated as food, including non-conventional food plants, as well as those cultivated as ornamental, medicinal and textile plants, such as cotton and linen, as well as wood plants and those used in the pharmaceutical industry, constituting a group of plants that are fundamental for the maintenance of life on Earth. In these scenarios, the development of systematic, taxonomic and floristic studies is fundamental for us to know, respectively, the phylogenetic relationships and floristic diversity of the different regions, ecosystems and floristic provinces around the planet. Thus, we invite those interested in systematics, taxonomy and floristics to contribute to this Special Issue of the journal Plants, which will include approaches focusing on systematics, taxonomy, and floristic studies of angiosperms from all regions of the planet.
