Plant identification taxonomy 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 taxonomy.
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.
Lt also includes definitions for more than twenty-seven hundred taxonomic terms.
