Pteridology important questions for Botany Bsc (honours) students or Botany Degree students. The study of ferns—plants classified in the Division Pterophyta are called Pteridology. Ferns do not have seeds the way trees and flowering plants do. Rather, they have spores the way mosses do. Pteridology is a major subject of Botany. Today,I have given some important questions for Pteridology Year Final Exam.
