Über diese Lernkartei

Diese Lernkarten vermitteln botanische Wurzelbegriffe für die wissenschaftliche Pflanzenbenennung auf universitärem Niveau. Sie decken häufige Wortstämme wie Form-, Farb- oder Strukturmerkmale ab, etwa bei Blüten, Blättern oder Früchten, und erklären deren Bedeutung in lateinisch-griechischen Fachbegriffen. Studierende der Biologie profitieren davon, um Pflanzennamen systematisch zu entschlüsseln und taxonomische Zusammenhänge zu verstehen.
