Plat Identification Terminology

From: Clarence Waldron <cwaldron at powersupply.net> on 1998.05.14 at 14:09:01(2128) Bob Riffle recently asked a question regarding terminology. Some of the = botanical dictionaries cost over $200, but I found an absolute gem: Plant Identification Terminology: An Illustrated Glossary James G. Harris and Melinda Woolf Harris, 1994 (5th printing 1997) Spring Lake Publishing, Spring Lake, Utah (USA) ISBN 0-9640221-5-X Cost $17.95 This excellent dictionary/glossary has definitions for over 2400 = taxonomic terms, all of them illustrated. There are some 2000 clear = line drawings-- for those of us who can't remember (or never knew) what = "monadelphous stamens" are, there are two illustrations. Our bookstore = special ordered it and had it in about a week--no charge for special = ordering! For $17.95 you can't beat the cost. For those who want to "key out" plants, or just for general terminology, = this book it perfect. It even contains its own keys to such things as = leaf margin types, surfaces (just what is the difference between = "pubescent" and "canescent"?), inflorescence types, etc. Clarence Waldron +More cwaldron@powersupply.net
