This revision of the now classic Plant Anatomy offers a
completely updated review of the structure, function, and
development of meristems, cells, and tissues of the plant body. The
text follows a logical structure-based organization. Beginning with
a general overview, chapters then cover the protoplast, cell wall,
and meristems, through to phloem, periderm, and secretory
structures.

"There are few more iconic texts in botany than Esau's
Plant Anatomy... this 3rd edition is a very worthy
successor to previous editions..." ANNALS OF BOTANY, June
