Details of plant structure and terminology accompany practical keys to identify 318 families into which flowering plants are divided.  Specifically designed for practical use, the keys can easily be worked backwards for checking identifications. Containing descriptions of families and listings of the genera within, it also includes a section on further identification to generic and specific levels. A successor to the author's bestselling The Identification of Flowering Plant Families, this guide is updated, and retains the same concise user-friendly approach. Cullen skillfully leads the reader from restrictive disciplines of older taxonomy, into an era of increasing numbers of plant families defined by DNA analysis.  Aimed primarily at students of botany and horticulture, this is a perfect introduction to plant identification for anyone interested in plant taxonomy.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Examining the plant: a brief survey of plant structure and its associated terminology\u003cbr\u003e Using the keys\u003cbr\u003e Keys\u003cbr\u003e 'Spot' characters\u003cbr\u003e Arrangement and description of families\u003cbr\u003e Further identification and annotated bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Horticulture [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Horticulture\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Horticulture%20%5BTVS%5D%22\"\u003eTVS\u003c\/a\u003e], Botany \u0026amp; plant sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Botany \u0026amp; plant sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Botany%20\u0026amp;%20plant%20sciences%20%5BPST%5D%22\"\u003ePST\u003c\/a\u003e], Taxonomy \u0026amp; systematics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Taxonomy \u0026amp; systematics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Taxonomy%20\u0026amp;%20systematics%20%5BPSAB%5D%22\"\u003ePSAB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45978347962648,"sku":"9780521678773","price":38.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521678773i_a1708713-909a-4ba0-8a45-a7e74920391d.jpg?v=1691379952","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/practical-plant-identification-including-a-key-to-native-and-cultivated-flowering-plants-in-north-temperate-regions-paperback-9780521678773","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
