A multifunctional gem - the perfect textbook? January 31, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
In teaching plant systematics and a wide range of allied botanical and horticultural subjects, there is no other book I have come across that fills so many gaps so comprehensively. Accessible, clearly written and with a wealth of useful illustrations I happily recommend it to all my students and colleagues. The taxonomic sections provide a very good distillation of plant diversity, generally following the APGII classification. The other chapters place everything in context, giving a concise introduction to phylogenetics, a clear and comprehensive glossary and even outlining the processes of plant collection and botanical illustration. Nice. . .
Although ideal for undergraduates, it is an excellent reference for anyone working on the front line of plant diversity from habitat surveyors to gel-jockeys.
