Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Long acclaimed as the definitive introductory botany text for majors,
Biology of Plants is especially known for its comprehensive coverage and
its magnificent art program. The new edition offers a wealth of new information, especially in the areas of taxonomy, genomics, plant hormones, and Arabidopsis research.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
