This new fourth edition has been completely revised and updated,
covering all aspects in the field of plant sciences including
biochemistry, plant physiology, cytology, ecology, genetics,
evolution, biogeography, earth history, and earth sciences. Over
500 new entries, including Rosales, physical dormancy, menthol, and
codeine, enhance the dictionary's coverage of botanical terms, key
drugs and medicines derived from plants, and plant orders,
families, and genera. It also explains many ecological terms, and
expands beyond plants to describe fungi and bacteria and how they
affect plants. Numerous appendices include Plant Classification and
SI Units, with new timelines showing important moments in plant
evolution. For ease of use, vernacular plant names have been
transferred to an appendix, fully cross-referenced to the A to Z
entries. The dictionary's dedicated companion website points to
recommended web links and additional resources. The most up-to-date
dictionary available on its subject, this is an essential resource
for students of plant sciences and amateur botanists, as well as an
entertaining and valuable guide for the plant enthusiast.
