Forensic botany is the application of plant science to the
resolution of legal questions. A plant's anatomy and its ecological
requirements are in some cases species specific and require
taxonomic verification; correct interpretation of botanical
evidence can give vital information about a crime scene or a
suspect or victim. The use of botanical evidence in legal
investigations in North America is relatively recent. The first
botanical testimony to be heard in a North American court concerned
the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh's baby boy and the
conviction of Bruno Hauptmann in 1935. Today, forensic botany
encompasses numerous subdisciplines of plant science, such as plant
anatomy, taxonomy, ecology, palynology, and diatomology, and
interfaces with other disciplines, e.g., molecular biology,
limnology and oceanography. Forensic Plant Science presents
chapters on plant science evidence, plant anatomy, plant taxonomic
evidence, plant ecology, case studies for all of the above, as well
as the educational pathways for the future of forensic plant
science.
