Radford, Dickison, Massey, and Bell's "Vascular Plant Systematics" (the
one that looks like a telephone book) is online, and although it's from
the 70's, I still find it useful for many terms.  It contains many
illustrations, and a search engine, but when I tried a query, it
wouldn't search properly for me.

I have also had good results using Harris and Harris' "Plant
Identification Terminology."

Subject: Botanical dictionary

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good botanical dictionary.  I am
mainly interested in one for plant morphology/taxonomy term and most of
the ones I have seen are "plant sciences" dictionaries that have a lot
of current molecular biology terms but not a lot of the older terms used
to describe plants.

Cheers,

Cindy
