Description

Some knowledge of the internal organisation and microscopic structure of plants is fundamental to an understanding of their morphology, physiology and evolutionary relationships. Anatomy of Flowering Plants provides a concise introduction to this subject, including stems, roots, leaves, flowers, seeds and fruits, each illustrated with light micrographs, scanning electron micrographs and line drawings. Established data and areas of currently active research are brought together in an interesting, readable and contemporary analysis of the fascinating subject of plant anatomy.
