    Notes by S. A. Mori

    This is an essential reference for those wishing to write and understand descriptions of dicotyledons plants. The most important additions made in this book over Hickey (1973) are the very detailed classification of leaf venation. There are many images of cleared leaves to illustrate nearly all of the terms in the book. The book can be purchased from Cornell University Press at http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/cup_detail.taf?ti_id=5362.

    KEYWORDS = Leaf anatomy, leaf architecture, leaf morphology, venation
