I believe the name of the article should be "Plant biology" rather than Botany. As a biologist I come across the first term more. I can defend my argument by pubmed search; thus search for "plant biology" yields 29000 results; whereas botany gives only 7000 results; Not that I prefer plant biology personally, botany is nice name enough but that's the trend in science now; Better proof would be probably searching for scientific journals mentioning the corresponding names.

WP editors User:Smartse and User:Davidbena recently discussed the lead paragraph and whether or not it should be expanded by citing an antiquated source taken from Encyclopædia Britannica (1823). A link to that discussion can be seen here. This is solely for general information.Davidbena (talk) 14:23, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
