Book Description
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.

• Very Helpful, Clear, And Concise 07 September, 2007
This book is extremely useful for looking up strange botanical terms. It has definitely come in handy in my Taxonomy of Flowering Plants class. I definitely recommend it.

• Plant Parts 16 February, 2008
Plants are confusing and the name connected to a plant part is not always clear. This book, with its many line drawings, makes identification much easier when you are using a plant identification key. I recommend it, not so much for in the field but when you are at home with specimens in front of you and a key beside you. rp

• Organization Makes It 27 October, 2007
This book is a great reference tool, especially for the price. I am taking a plants class right now and it is helpful for identification. Additionally, I conduct wetland delineations in the summer, and it is helpful for those tough to identify plants, where if you only knew what a specific part was...
A great reference for your library.

• Not A User-friendly Book 30 October, 2007
In this book, plant ID terminology is arranged by plant structure category - by roots, stems, leaves, etcetera. Some plant keys do not indicate on what structure a particular character is located. This would not be an issue if the book had an INDEX! It does not! So when you come to the part in the plant key that says "perianth absent or reduced to very minute scales" where do you begin looking for the definition of "perianth"? Do you look for it in the leaf section? Root section? If there was an index in this book it would be much more user-friendly.

Excellent text. I do a lot of botany and plant identification. This is the best book for terms I have ever used. Virtually all terms I need are well illustrated.
