The firs person known to have tried to classify plants
was Theophrastus.He organized the 500 plants into three main categories:
tree,shrubs and herbs.Then plants were classified according to their leaf
characteristics.
·
Many plants that are very closely related ,but have quite
different leaves. Unrelated plants growing in similar environments will have
similar leaves because these are adapted that help plants cope with shade or
other stresses.
