This volume presents the proceedings of a symposium which I
organised for the Developmental Section of the Xlllth International
Botanical Congress at Sydney, Australia on August 26, 1981. The
paper by Professor T. Sachs, which was received too late for
inclusion into the symposium at Sydney, was added to these
proceedings because of its direct relevancy and importance. The aim
of the symposium was to state in an explicit and comprehensive
fashion the most basic axioms and principles of plant morphology
and morphogenesis. An awareness of these axioms and principles is
of paramount importance since they form. the foundations as well as
the goal of structural developmental botany. Both teaching and
research are predicated on them. The Introduction by the editor
briefly examines the meaning of the concepts "axiom," "principle,"
and "plant construction." The comprehensive paper by Dr. G. Cusset,
a unique historical overview, explicates 37 principles of 5 major
conceptual systems and many subsystems. The extensive analysis
includes a genealogy of ideas and ways of thinking of major authors
ranging from philosophers and naturalists of antiquity to recent
investigators of plant form and structure. The bibliography of Dr.
Cusset I s paper comprises ca. 700 references. The contribution by
Professor H. Mohr focusses on modern principles of morphogenesis
and provides a penetrating analysis of scientific explanation in
developmental biology. The universal principles (laws) described in
this paper apply to all living systems, whereas the more specific
principles are limited to plants or only higher plants. Professor
