Abstract
The article discusses the latest trends in the field of presentation of natural science information for students, which have developed in the postmodern era. It is shown that botanical illustrations presented in postmodern alphabets do not reflect the morphological features of plants. When depicting plants, the author uses the technique of deconstructing images presented in ancient botanical atlases. Fragments of botanical illustrations are placed against the background of everyday scenes of the 19th century, including those of a fantasy nature. The structural components of the botanical educational book, its content and ironic author's comments are considered. The description of plants is pseudo-academic: the texts are surreal, they combine fiction and truth, fantasy and the specifics of the action. It is concluded that the irony of the comments does not contribute to the formation of the foundations of the natural science worldview.

Agronomy originated as an application of botany to crop production
Botany anthologies, study guides, textbooks and teaching aids, lecture courses, natural and visual herbaria, laboratory manuals are used for the presentation of natural science knowledge
Summary
Agronomy and botany are linked by a common object of study, methods and developmental history. Botanists study the patterns of structure and development, the species composition of wild plants and their groups; agronomists deal with cultivated plants [1, 2]. The integrated use of plant resources, both natural and cultivated, is an important indicator of the general level of development of a country and its agriculture. Botanical knowledge is an important component of the worldview picture of the world. In the history of pedagogical thought, numerous teaching aids are known that help students master the diverse world of plants [6, 7]. Botany anthologies, study guides, textbooks and teaching aids, lecture courses, natural and visual herbaria, laboratory manuals are used for the presentation of natural science knowledge
