- Botany is the dangerous study of plants. Botany is not for everyone. Please consult your doctor before starting Botany. Side effects include smoking marijuana and world domination.
- Botany was a field dealing with plants that was researched at Garqi Agricultural University. Chine Gabbard was among those who researched botany.
- Botany is the area of Biology that studies plants.
- Botany is one of the four gathering professions. Its crafting counterpart is Alchemy. Botany can be quickly raised with a Farm.
- Botany, also known as botanical science or plant biology, was the study of plant life. A biologist who specialized in this branch of biological science was known as a botanist. The Kressari traded in botanical DNA. (DS9: "The Circle") The region of the planet Ledos that was inhabited by the Ventu contained botanical specimens that had high level of serum nitrates. (VOY: "Natural Law") For a while, Kamin's son Batai wanted to be a botanist. (TNG: "The Inner Light" ) Miranda Vigo was trained as a botanist who, as Jean-Luc Picard recalled, "used to talk of running a farm." (TNG: "Bloodlines" )
- Historically, botany covers all organisms that were not considered to be animals. Some of these "plant-like" organisms include fungi (studied in mycology), bacteria and viruses (studied in microbiology), and algae (studied in phycology). Most algae, fungi, and microbes are no longer considered to be in the plant kingdom. However, attention is still given to them by botanists, and bacteria, fungi, and algae are usually covered in introductory botany courses.

- Botany is a housing scheme in Maryhill, Glasgow. It is bordered to the north by Dawsholm, to the south by Wyndford, to the east by Gilsochill and Ruchill and to the west by Kelvindale. The area derived its name from many of its felon inhabitants being deported to Botany Bay in Australia. Housing in the area was made up entirely of tenements, mainly from the inter war era. The area has one of the worst reputations in the city. Stirrat Street was found to be the most violent street in Glasgow by an Evening Times study in 2004.

- Botany is a housing scheme in Maryhill, Glasgow. It is bordered to the north by Dawsholm, to the south by Wyndford, to the east by Gilsochill and Ruchill and to the west by Kelvindale. The area derived its name from many of its felon inhabitants being deported to Botany Bay in Australia. Housing in the area was made up entirely of tenements, mainly from the inter war era. The area has one of the worst reputations in the city. Stirrat Street was found to be the most violent street in Glasgow by an Evening Times study in 2004. In 1999, rumours were rife that the estate was to be flattened, residents protests went unheard. In 2001, demolition on the 171 flats (some dating as far back as the 1870s) began. Residents of Botany were persuaded from their homes with the promise of being relocated back to the area when it was redeveloped. In 2007, there was massive controversy whether these residents will ever be allowed to return as private developers are being allowed to buy the land. The tower block at 76 Collina Street is expected to be demolished over the next few years making Botany a blank canvas and gold mine for developers. Botany is where Jack and Victor live in the hit Glasgow comedy, 'Still Game'. Although there is no mention of the name Botany, as they go about their business in the fictional district of Craiglang, their residence is the tower block at 76 Collina Street.
- Botany, also known as botanical science or plant biology, was the study of plant life. A biologist who specialized in this branch of biological science was known as a botanist. The Kressari traded in botanical DNA. (DS9: "The Circle") The region of the planet Ledos that was inhabited by the Ventu contained botanical specimens that had high level of serum nitrates. (VOY: "Natural Law") For a while, Kamin's son Batai wanted to be a botanist. (TNG: "The Inner Light" ) Tobin Dax was the only Dax symbiont who ever remotely had experience with plants. According to later host, Jadzia Dax, "the Daxes have never been much on gardening. Tobin tried it, but had even less luck with plants than he had with women. (DS9: "The Wire") While dictating his will, in early 2154, Phlox wished to leave his botanical library to a young girl named Indaura, who he felt always had a flair for plants. (ENT: "Zero Hour") During the early 2260s, Leila Kalomi was the primary botanist of the Omicron colony on planet Omicron Ceti III. (TOS: "This Side of Paradise" ) One of Hikaru Sulu's hobbies was botany. (TOS: "The Man Trap" , TOS: "Shore Leave" ) In 2266, Sulu tried to get Kevin Riley interested in botany, by having him collect leaves and plant specimens. (TOS: "The Naked Time" ) Botany was also one of Tongo Rad's favorite of studies. (TOS: "The Way to Eden" ) Kevin and Rishon Uxbridge were botanists resided on the Rana IV colony. Kevin was a specialist in symbiotic plant life. (TNG: "The Survivors" ) Miranda Vigo was trained as a botanist who, as Jean-Luc Picard recalled, "used to talk of running a farm." (TNG: "Bloodlines" ) Beverly Crusher grew Diomedian scarlet moss. (TNG: "Clues" ) Ro Laren took a plant biology course in Starfleet Academy. (TNG: "Rascals" ) Keiko O'Brien practiced botany aboard the USS Enterprise-D, but temporarily gave it up, became a teacher on Deep Space 9. Initially, Keiko has misgivings about moving to Deep Space 9, stating "Starfleet doesn't need a botanist on this station," to which her husband reassured that "there's a whole new quadrant full of new plant life to explore." (DS9: "A Man Alone") On the contrary, Miles was known around his house as "the Black Thumb," explaining to Joseph, that "the only way I could get anything to grow was to marry a botanist." (DS9: "Paradise") When Keiko later attended a conference, she asked Jadzia Dax to care for a plant from Ledonia III, which later became sick. Dax took the plant to Doctor Julian Bashir, who, upon studying it, proclaimed, "I'm a doctor, not a botanist." (DS9: "The Wire") Keiko later took the position of chief botanist on a year long agrobiology expedition to the Janitza Mountains on Bajor. (DS9: "The House of Quark", "Fascination") Tuvok conducted botanical research on an alien orchid uncovered the presence of lysosomal enzymes, which suggested evidence of symbiogenesis. (VOY: "Tuvix") Later, during a visit to an uninhabited moon, Chakotay assigned Tuvok and Neelix to be the "botanical surveyors," and ordered them to collect Cypripedium samples. (VOY: "Tattoo") The Doctor taught botany classes to Naomi Wildman, where she learned, among other things, about the pitcher plant. (VOY: "Once Upon a Time", "Bliss") In 2372, Benjamin Sisko explained the burdens of command to Worf, telling him that because of them, you would sometimes wish you had made a career in botany. (DS9: "Rules of Engagement")
- Historically, botany covers all organisms that were not considered to be animals. Some of these "plant-like" organisms include fungi (studied in mycology), bacteria and viruses (studied in microbiology), and algae (studied in phycology). Most algae, fungi, and microbes are no longer considered to be in the plant kingdom. However, attention is still given to them by botanists, and bacteria, fungi, and algae are usually covered in introductory botany courses. The study of plants is important for a number of reasons. Plants are a fundamental part of life on earth. They generate the oxygen, food, fibres, fuel and medicine that allow higher life forms to exist. Plants also absorb carbon dioxide, a significant greenhouse gas, through photosynthesis. A good understanding of plants is crucial to the future of human societies as it allows us to:
* Feed the world
* Understand fundamental life processes
* Utilise medicine and materials
* Understand environmental changes
