Book Reviews of Plant Identification Terminology: An Illustrated Glossary
Book Review: A fantastic resource
Summary: 5 Stars
There are many books offering definitions for the descriptive technical terms used in floras and botanical monographs. This one offers a comprehensive list of most any descriptive term one is likely to encounter. The terms are not only defined, but illustrated. The book is divided into two main sections, the first with the terms listed alphabetically, the second with them sorted by organ type (leaves, inflorescences, roots, etc.)
This book is great value for the money and probably the best book of its kind available today.
Summary of Plant Identification Terminology: An Illustrated Glossary
Plant identification employs an extensive and complex terminology. Professional botanists often need several years in the field to master this terminology, and it presents a daunting obstacle to the student of botany.The meaning of most botanical terms, however, is immediately apparent when an illustration is available. That is the purpose of this volume. Plant Identification Terminology provides over nineteen hundred clear illustrations of terms used in plant identification keys and descriptions. It also includes definitions for more than twenty-seven hundred taxonomic terms.
