A Tour of the Flowering Plants Based on the Classification System of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group

Rate this book
A microbiologist turned science educator, Spears provides both text and superb color photographs as she explores 109 families of flowering plants in temperate areas of the US and Canada that are well known and common and often used for food or medicine or are grown in gardens. The classification system she adopts has only recently been devised, so knowledgeable readers can update their angiosperm taxonomy here. However she writes for general readers. Plant families are indexed. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
