Chemical taxonomy is a comparatively recent discipline which involves
application of phyto-chemical data
to the problems of systematic botany.
Here,
chemical criteria
are used for the classification of plants.
The
analysis of chemical compounds
by means
of biochemistry and molecular biology
helps in the classification of plants.
The presence and distribution of various
chemical compounds
in plants serve as
taxonomic evidences.
The common chemical constituents used for the classification of plants include
hormones, amino-acids, proteins, enzymes, tannins, alkaloids, oils etc.
Chemotaxonomy is useful for
fragmentary fossil specimens
which lack morphological and anatomical characters.
This is generally used for the
classification of medicinal plants
.
