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.

About this title

Review

' The book is an excellent introduction to higher plant anatomy. While capable of being read at a sitting, it is also sufficiently complete to provide the kind of help a student floundering with the terminology of the subject might need to bring order to his understanding. I will certainly recommend it to my students in the hope that it will increase their enthusiasm for this fascinating subject.' J. R. Barnett, Microscopy and Analysis

'A valuable contribution to student anatomical texts.' Botanical Journal of the Linnaean Society

' ... an excellent summary of angiosperm anatomy ...' Biologist
