IV. PREREQUISITES: None

V. COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is a basic subject on the form and external features (morphology) and internal structure (anatomy) of vascular plants taking representative examples from Divisions Psilopsida, Sphenopsida and Ptreropsida (ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms). The origin and development of the various kinds of cells and tissues of the roots, stems and leaves will also be covered.

VI. COURSE OBJECTIVES: At the end of the semester, the students are expected to:1. To provide knowledge for a basic foundation in he morphology and anatomy of lower and higher vascular plants.2. To provide students the opportunities through laboratory work to acquire a practical basis for the knowledge gained in the lectures on the morphology and anatomy of vascular plants.
