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.
