उत्तर प्रदेश के विभिन्न विश्वविद्यालयों के बी.एस-सी. प्रथम वर्ष के द्वितीय प्रश्नपत्र हेतु स्वीकृत एकीकृत पाठ्यक्रम पर आधारित अंग्रेजी भाषा में

For maintaining similarities and uniformity, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh has introduced a modified and unified course for undergraduate students of all universities of the state. With the new course, examination papers are to be set in new patterns. There will be three papers in each subject, each of 50 marks. Each paper will comprise + units. There will be 9 questions in each paper and student has to attempt only 5 questions. Question I will be compulsory based on units 1-4 (I-IV) and of short answer type. Two questions will be set from each unit of which one question has to be attempted. All questions will carry equal marks.

As such, there is no any adequate book in the market to cover these courses with new patterns of questions. Efforts have been made to prepare this book according to the recommended pattern. At places, hints for long and short questions have been given without affecting the textual synchronisation. However, due to change in the pattern and old practices of study, some variations may come up. Such arrangement will help students to revise and check their studies. References of university examination questions have been included at proper places.

According to new courses, the subject has been divided into three papers.
FIRST PAPER : Diversity of Viruses, Bacteria and Fungi
SECOND PAPER : Diversity of Algae, Lichens and. Bryophytes
THIRD PAPER : Diversity of Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Elementary Palaeobotany
