I have a question for you botany types: Do you have any recommendations for a beginning botany text book? I'm looking for something I can order one of which discusses taxonomy, morphology, and physiology. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Keith Rogers uucp: utah-cs!esunix!krogers

Schmidling says:
Botany texts are legion and for basics, any one will do.
A very useful book to help struggle through the vocabulary
and taxonomy is :
"HOW TO IDENTIFY PLANTS"
by: Harrington and Durrell
It was published by: The Swallow Press Inc
1139 S Wabash Ave
Chicago 60605
It is an excellent book with thousands of drawings
explaining the complicated vocabulary of botany.
