[Jorge Maestre · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent book that covers the vast majority of vascular plant anatomy with a superb level of detail. The visual support hits the nail on the head with every topic, and each chapter includes curiosities that offer a break from the technical reading. Probably the book that every plant anatomy subject is going to use in the near future.
