==Description==
'''Botany''', plant science(s), phytology, or plant biology, is a branch of [[biology]]. It is the [[scientific]] [[study]] of plant life. Botany covers a wide range of [[scientific]] [[disciplines]] concerned with the [[study]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant plants], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae algae] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungi fungi], including [[structure]], [[growth]], reproduction, metabolism, [[development]], diseases, [[chemical]] properties, and [[evolutionary]] [[relationships]] between [[taxonomic]] [[groups]]. Botany began with early [[human]] [[efforts]] to identify edible, [[Medicine|medicinal]] and [[Poison|poisonous]] plants, making it one of the oldest [[sciences]]. Today botanists [[study]] over 550,000 [[species]] of living organisms.[http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botany]
