Please note, the lectures are given in Czech language. English version of the course can be requested in
advance if there are at least 3 students. Aim of the lecture is to provide an overview of basic methodical
approaches in taxonomy and to show their application, based on practical examples from literature. Special
attention is paid to the basic terminology of taxonomy, classification of polyploid complexes, evaluation of
molecular and morphological data, formal presentation of the results of taxonomical work and to some problems
of botanical nomenclature.
