Publisher Comments:

E. J. H. Corner's perennial favorite, copiously stocked with now-classic botanical illustrations, is one of the most fascinating and original introductions to the world of plants ever produced. From the botanist to the amateur, no reader will finish this book without gaining a much richer understanding of plants, their history, and their relationship with the environments around them.
