Annotation

The teaching of Pharmaceutical Botany II is focused on the pharmaceutically important taxa of fungi, lower plants (Cyanophyta, Algae, Lichens, Bryophyta), Pteridophytic plants, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. Students are acquainted with the systematic classification of these plants, their brief description, content and importance in the current pharmacy.

The course emphasizes the characteristic features and elements of knowledge of these plants, which will help the students to orient themselves when necessary when consulting. In the taxa list, attention is paid to Asian plants, which have become increasingly important in the European and Czech Pharmacopoeia. nižších rostlin (sinice, řasy, mechorosty, lišejníky) a vyšších rostlin (nahosemenné, krytosemenné rostliny)
