Form (botany) group with a noticeable morphological deviation. The usual taxonomic practice is that the individuals classified within the form are not necessarily known to be closely related (they may not form a clade). For instance, white-flowered plants of species that usually have coloured flowers can be grouped and named (e.g., as "f. "alba""). Formae apomicticae are sometimes named among plants that reproduce asexually, by apomixis. There are theoretically countless numbers of forms based on minor genetic differences, and only a few that have particular significance are likely to be named. Form (botany) In botanical nomenclature, a form ("forma", plural "formae") is
A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland began as a collaboration between Smith and George Shaw. Together they produced a two-part work entitled "Zoology and Botany of New Holland", with each part containing two zoology plates and two botany plates, along with accompanying text. These appeared in 1793, although the publications themselves indicate 1794. The collaboration then ended, and Shaw went on to independently produce his "Zoology of New Holland". Smith's contributions to "Zoology and Botany of New Holland" became the first two parts of "A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland", a further two parts of which were issued in 1795. The book contained details
