Ecology as an Aid to Floristics. II-Autecology

Paper describes how autecology can, (i) distinguish between species which are genetically different but otherwise look similar, (ii) species which have been given different latin names on the basis of morphology alone and which are only ecological variants of a particular species ; and (iii) the distribution of a species.

Suitable examples have been described for each study.

A tentative scheme has also been given for Biological Flora studies for unification of the work.
