Plant morphology is essential in determining the flora, and can contribute to the understanding of environmental issues and to the formation of students able to act consciously and sustainably. However, the traditional and decontextualized approach to Botany has resulted in the students' lack of interest. The purpose of this article was to analyze the content of plant morphology in Biology textbooks approved in the PNLD 2018. Documentary research, with a qualitative approach, was carried out, which revealed the little relevance given to the theme, the lack of reflective images and the low frequency of proposals for practical or group activities in most of the textbooks analyzed. We confirm the relevance of a careful analysis of textbooks, aiming at improve this important pedagogical tool that, many times, is the only didactic resource available, being decisive in the selection and in the way in which the contents will be developed in the classroom.
