Anatomy of Flowering Plants

In the third edition of her successful textbook, Paula Rudall provides a comprehensive yet succint introduction to the anatomy of flowering plants. Thoroughly revised and updated, the book covers all aspects of comparative plant structure and development, arranged in a series of chapters on the stem, root, leaf, flower, seed and fruit. Internal structures are described using magnification aids from the simple hand-lens to the electron microscope. This clearly written text is ideal for students studying a wide range of courses in botany and plant science, and is also an excellent resource for professional and amateur horticulturists. PB, 145 pages, illustrated.
