I have this book also ('though it has been hijacked by my brother...)
and it's very interesting although, from memory, some of the plant names
are likely to be well out-of-date. I particularly like the sketches in
the back of the book such as those dealing with the various pitcher
forms of Cephalotus and Darlingtonia from seedling through mature
plants. There are a number of plates of micrographs (photographs of
microscope images) too, but mine are poorly reproduced so are very dark
making it difficult to see the details. I believe mine was a Dover
reprint - I certainly remember that there was a large section in the
back of the book listing *lots* of other books from the same publisher
(maybe about 30-50 pages??).
