The branch of botany that studies the composition, distribution, and relationships of plant species and floras in different regions.
From flora plus the scientific suffix -istics, which creates abstract nouns for fields of study. Similar construction to linguistics, statistics, or physics.
Floristics as a field is having a renaissance—conservation organizations now use floristic data to identify biodiversity hotspots and prioritize which ecosystems most desperately need protection.
