Reviews for The Kew Plant Glossary
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Possibly one of the most useful glossaries I have seen in a long time, with good, clear and greatly useful definitions, drawing a distinction between rare or outdated terms and those in actual use, as well as specifying which group they are used for (something that cannot be said of Stearn's Botanical Latin or Harris & Harris' Plant Identification Terminology). It would still gain from a better "perspective" approach to various aspects of terminological confusion regarding, for example, the terminology applied to leaf apices.
