This Glossary was okay for possibly an intro Botany class and did not fit my needs quite as well as some other plant term books have. If you are taking and introductory Botany class and that is the only dealing with plants you expect to have this should work out fine. If you are taking A systemics course I would recommend The Harris/Harris Plant Identification Terminology.
