Please note that the lectures are given in the Czech language only.
This course provides a coherent and illustrative introduction to the diversity of vascular plants on Earth against the background of the latest knowledge of their evolution and phylogenetic relationships. In lectures and accompanying practical classes, students become familiar with the basic characteristics, modes of reproduction, distribution and typical representatives of individual families of spore-bearing, gymnosperm and angiosperm plants, representing not only the Central European flora but also important (especially economically useful) plants from around the world. At the same time, the course offers an excellent opportunity to review and expand knowledge of plant morphology, as well as the history, basic methods and principles of vascular plant taxonomy. PRACTICALS The lecture is complemented by practical classes that enable students to observe, on living material, the basic representatives of the families covered, their morphological characteristics and differences between related plant groups. The practical part of the course consists of 12 sessions; to obtain the course credit (zápočet), students must attend at least 10 of these in person. In addition, active participation and successful completion of the final identification test are required. Students with specific needs (SSP) or an individual study plan (ISP) are asked to inform the course coordinator before the beginning of the semester about any limitations on the basis of which they would like to adjust the teaching. They are also required to inform the coordinator, or the teacher in charge of their parallel group, at least 14 days before the credit test/exam by e-mail about any limitations on the basis of which they would like to adjust the conditions for completing the course. We apologise, but due to the high number of enrolled students we are not able to take individual limitations into account without sufficient advance notice. ALL MATERIALS FOR LECTURES, PRACTICALS AND THE EXAM FOR THE SUMMER SEMESTER 2025 CAN BE FOUND ON GOOGLE DRIVE: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1y79_IuvVcvjGtSI4sForwzksi820lkuv?usp=drive_link COURSE REQUIREMENTS Course credit (zápočet) – attendance at at least 80% of practicals + successful completion of the final identification test (“poznávačka”; minimum score 60%). The identification test is taken as part of the practical test. Exam – the exam will be written. In justified cases, especially for students with special needs, the exam may also be held orally, subject to prior agreement with the instructor. Grading scale (exam result, in %): 100–91 = 1 (excellent) 90–75 = 2 (very good) 74–60 = 3 (good) 59 and below = 4 (fail) Last update: Slovák Marek, Mgr., Ph.D. (13.02.2026)

PODMÍNKY SPLNĚNÍ PŘEDMĚTU: 1. Zápočet - účast na alespoň 80% praktik + úspěšné zvládnutí závěrečné poznávačky (minimální zisk 60% bodů). Poznávačku provedou studenti u testu z praktik. 2. Zkouška bude probíhat písemně. V odůvodněných případech, zejména u studentů se speciálními potřebami, může zkouška proběhnout také ústně, a to po předchozí dohodě s vyučujícím. Známkování zkoušky bude následovné (čísla jsou uvedené v procentech): 100 – 91 = 1 90-75 = 2 74-60 = 3 59 a méně = 4 Last update: Slovák Marek, Mgr., Ph.D. (05.02.2026)
