Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

A monograph is a detailed and comprehensive study of a single taxonomic group, such as a genus or family, at a particular time. It compiles information about description, classification, distribution, morphology, anatomy, ecology, and other relevant details of all species within that group.

• Taxonomic key – helps in identifying species, not a complete compiled account.

• Flora – provides information about all plants in a particular region, not just one genus/family.

• Herbarium – is a collection of preserved plant specimens.
