Plant ID Terminology

From: Don Burns <burns at mobot.org> on 1998.05.14 at 02:42:59(2121) A question was asked about sources of information on plant terminology. There is a terrific 200 page paperback called "Plant Identification Terminology" by James G. Harris and Melinda Woolf Harris, Spring Lake Publishing, Payson, Utah. We purchased a bunch of these at a volume price a couple of years ago and distributed them to list members who were interested. I have found this little book to be very valuable when trying to navigate taxonomic keys to species written by people like Tom Croat. Line drawings are used throughout to illustrate the terms. A call to directory assistance will get you their number. Your local book dealer may order it for you. ISBN 0-9640221-5-X Don +More Don Burns Plantation, FL USA Zone 10b
