Q. What do you mean by Monographs?

A monograph is defined as "the complete account as can be made at a given time of any one family, tribe or genus, nothing being neglected of it". It is worldwide in its scope and application. It reviews and evaluates all taxonomic treatments that have been made of that taxon. It takes care of and synthesises in so far as possible all cytological, genetical, morphological anatomical, paleobotanical, and ecological studies of the taxon by its author, co-workers or others. All elements of the treatise are accounted for by dichotomous keys, full synonymies, complete descriptions, 1 precise designations of types together with notes as to where the types are deposited, citations of specimens examined, distributional ranges, notes on habitats and discussions of taxonomic and nomenclatorial considerations.
