The Botanical Textbook

The Botanical Textbook by Asa Gray is a comprehensive guide to the study of botany, divided into two parts. Part 1, An Introduction To Structural And Physiological Botany, covers the basic principles of plant anatomy and physiology, including the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs, as well as the processes of photosynthesis, respiration, and reproduction. Part 2, The Principles Of Systematic Botany, provides an overview of the classification and identification of plants, including the use of keys, descriptions, and illustrations to identify species.
