Introduction to Pteridophyta

An Introduction to pteridophyta is a text book meant for B.Sc., B.Sc. (Hons) and M.Sc. students of all universities. The book is divided into nine chapters dealing with all aspects of pteridology including current research carried up to 1994. The first and eighth chapters deal with topics of comparative morphology such as stellar evolution, origin of pteridophytes etc. including Indian contributions to pteridology. Chapter nine deals exclusively with experimental pteridology. Chapters 3-7 deal with life histories of representative members of various groups of pteridophyta. Chapter 2 briefly deals with fossils and their importance.

Profusely illustrated, the book should prove to be a useful text book for students as well as teachers.
