植物分類學和《本草綱目》中藥分類之研究

This article compares the origins, development, and differences between western and Chinese plant taxonomy. Western plant taxonomy is represented by Linnaean taxonomy. Chinese taxonomy is represented by ”Compendium of Materia Medica” created by Li Shizhen in the Ming dynasty. We compare the differences between the methods and original ideas of these two and introduce plant taxonomy used nowadays. We hope can bring greater understanding about plant and Chinese herb taxonomy to the general public.
