The branch of forensics which deals with the relation of plants with legal matters and law is termed as Forensic Botany and it is used to investigate criminal activities. Of the total proportion science students, very few of them are professionally trained botanists. To be trained in the field of Forensic Botany, teachers who teach botany often take one or two courses in two- or four-year college programs as forensic botanists require basic knowledge of plants in relation with criminal activities. It is seen that most of the individuals even working in professional plant societies lack the required knowledge of plants especially how this can be related to crime investigation. Plant evidence is often ignored as attorneys and law enforcement professionals are informed about botany no more than a common man. Plants evidence is very important in terms of determining time and cause of death, time and place of crime, reasons of ill health, and verification and refusal of alibi.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
