Scientific description or study of flowers, including their structure, classification, and characteristics.
From Greek 'anthos' (flower) + '-graphy' (writing about, description). This technical term emerged in 18th-century botanical science when scholars began systematically documenting flower varieties.
Before photographs existed, scientists had to become artists—anthography required incredibly detailed drawings and written descriptions to capture how each flower looked, making flower science part art, part documentation.
