Some time back I picked up a copy of Muller, Botany: A Functional
Approach (4th edn of 1979) from a library sale. This covers the topic in
about the degree of detail that I gave. It doesn't seem to have a
statement about the intended audience, but I had assumed that it was
targeted at freshmen life science students.


Thanks very much.

My daughter completed a biology degree at Royal Holloway a short
while back, and none of her textbooks covered that.


Did she do any courses specifically on Botany? (Though Campbell, Biology
(4th edn of 1977) has if anything more detail. Perhaps with the growth
of molecular biology over the last 30 years other stuff has been
displaced from the courses.
