Botany, Sanskrit, Modern, Taxonomy.

Ancient Indian Sanskrit texts from the Vedic period (2500 BC to 600 BC) offer insights into early botanical classifications, predating those of Latin and Greek scholars. They meticulously categorized plants into groups like trees, herbs, and creepers, based on their flowering and fruit-bearing characteristics. These texts not only catalogued various plant species but also documented their medicinal properties, demonstrating a sophisticated understanding of botany and pharmacology. Meanwhile, in Europe, botanical naming began to take shape with the contributions of figures like Theophrastus, Dioscorides, and Pliny the Elder. Latin emerged as the scientific language of Europe, and the age of exploration necessitated detailed morphological descriptions of newly encountered plant species. The evolution of plant naming methods has been a dynamic process, rooted in ancient traditions that predate even the era of Theophrastus. From the rudimentary classifications of early civilizations to the systematic taxonomy of modern botany, the study of plants continues to deepen our understanding of the natural world.
