Taxonomy is an integrated and, perhaps, intuitive science of identifying, naming and classifying plants (and all other organisms). This may be considered as the oldest of sciences in the world, as the primitive man had to distinguish the plants that he can eat safely, from those which are poisonous and inedible. Thus, from the very inception itself, taxonomy was not a pure science but an applied science.
