This investigatory project is taken up as an investigatory study involving studies to analyse significance of Floral Formula to meet taxonomical purposes. This mechanism was used for the first time by Cassel, used along with 4-integer series to represent the different whorls of floral parts to describe characteristics of floral families (Grisebach)[i]. An extension of the existing model to broaden the descriptive capability of the formula was developed and used by Prenner; an argument is also advanced that formulae should be included in formal taxonomic descriptions. It is expected that this exploratory will provide us an ample scope of understanding mechanism involved in developing and using floral formula for facilitating classification of flowering plants. We will also conventional as well as modern ways of presentation of floral formula. Even some of the floral formulae can be decoded to work out a better understanding of the mechanism.

Floral morphology remains the cornerstone for plant identification and studies of plant evolution. This guide gives a global overview of the floral diversity of the angiosperms through the use of detailed floral diagrams. These schematic diagrams replace long descriptions or complicated drawings as a tool for understanding floral structure and evolution. They show important features of flowers, such as the relative positions of the different organs, their fusion, symmetry, and structural details. The relevance of the diagrams is discussed, and pertinent evolutionary trends are illustrated. The range of plant species represented reflects the most recent classification of flowering plants based mainly on molecular data, which is expected to remain stable in the future. This book is invaluable for researchers and students working on plant structure, development and systematics, as well as being an important resource for plant ecologists, evolutionary botanists and horticulturists.
