A scientist has come across a plant which he feels is a new species. How will he go about its identification, classification and nomenclature?

With the help of taxonomic aids new identified species can be easily classified.

The scientist has to do comparative studies of the morphological & anatomical features with the features of existing plants present in the taxonomical aids.
