Abstract
Systematics plays an important role in identifying medicinal plants and searching for new medicinal plant sources. This chapter introduces a theoretical basis and development and research methods for medicinal plant systematics. Research methods of medicinal plant systematics contain morphological taxonomy, anatomy taxonomy, embryo taxonomy, cell taxonomy, chemical taxonomy, numerical taxonomy and branch taxonomy. We also introduce the methods and application of molecular systematics, which can be used to identify and protect medicinal plants, as well as search for new medicinal plants.
