C It is helpul in the taxonomic diagnosis of a new identified species

The semi-technical description of a flowering plant describes all the morphological features of a plant. It uses a scientific language like symbols and numbers for the descrition. This makes it universally accepted across the scientific community as different parts of the world have different names for the same flower and its parts. This could lead to a confusion which is solved by means of the semi-technical description. Also, its very useful while studying seasonal flowers. If we have the semi-technical description of a flowering plant, we can study about it irrespective of whether the flower is available in the particular season. The semi- technical description holds great importance in identifying a newly discovered plant species.
