Botanical literature refers to written works that focus on the study of plants, including their classification, characteristics, and uses. This genre encompasses a variety of formats, such as books, journals, and articles, which provide valuable information for botanists, horticulturists, and plant enthusiasts. Historically, botanical literature has played a crucial role in the documentation and understanding of plant species. Notable works include Carl Linnaeus's "Species Plantarum," which established a systematic approach to naming plants, and modern publications that continue to explore plant biology, ecology, and conservation.
