Botany is the study of plants. This section contains books dealing with the biology of plants, but also the study of traditional uses of plants in for example medicine, food or clothing (ethnobotany), and the contemporary uses of plants in for example agriculture and biotechnology (economic botany). Furthermore, you will find botanical field guides as well as more extensive multi-volume floras to destinations around the world, and technical taxonomic monographs to specific plants groups. Finally, books that concern themselves with gardening, garden and house plants, and horticulture (the art and science of growing plants) can also be found here.
