 - Must have for anyone interested in botany/biologyI work as a biologist, and this book is a must have for anyone who is interested in plants. Professionals or amateur botanists/biologists who have to key plants out need to own this handy desk reference. Rating: - Good resource for Botany studentsThis glossary is a very good aid for Botany classes especially if keying (identifying) plants. Keying is tough even when a professor is standing there telling you what the miriad of terms mean. A large research paper was made much simpler with this book. One problem arises in the fact that many botanists have different definitions for the same term, so at times glossaries need to be tailored to specific scientists. Rating: - Great BookI wish I had this when I first started learning about plant identification. It is much easier to understand the native tongue when have an idea of a taxonomists lexicon. Nearly every entry in the 'plant dictionary' has a nice clear illustration further helping the reader. Plant ID is not easy, but better to go into it prepared with this sort of tool. Rating: - Just what i neededit was the exact book a needed for class and looked and worked great. Rating: - Great Plant Reference BookI had to buy this book for a class, and it turned out to be a really valuable resource. It's clearly laid out, and there are nice pen and ink illustrations for almost every entry. I highly recommend this book for anyone who needs an easy to use reference for anything plant related.
