A Dictionary of Plant Sciences by Michael Allaby
This new fourth edition has been completely updated, with over 500 new entries increasing the coverage of botanical terms, key drugs derived from plants, and plant orders and families. Numerous appendices include new timelines and phylogenies, with vernacular plant names transferred to a fully cross-referenced appendix.
