چکیده

Introduction: Muslim’s botanists presented sporadic and irregular information frequently. Razi is one of the most prominent pioneers in the field of botanical knowledge. In this article is tried to prove the hypothesis that Muslim’s botanists had a special view in their studies. Method: Research Method is a comparative describtion with the analysis of results. In this method, first the scattered information is collected in the works, after that is drawn the classes, morphology and ecology of plants, finally, by matching this information with new knowledge, razi’s method has evaluated and analyzed. Result: Razi’s method was direct examination in Botany’ Environment. He has provided a detailed description of organisms and suitable habitats for plants by direct observation and experiment. He registered this information regularly and accurately so he followed each plant with the details as a scientific method to study the plant. Conclusion: Razi’s method is compatible with the new botanical scientific method. A specified description of criteria and the terminology of his works have been cited. But he is not focused on the plant’s physiology and it is his only weakpoint.
