"This new edition of Plant Taxonomy is long overdue . . . Highly recommended." — Choice
"Well written and lucid . . . a comprehensive text that manages to smoothly bridge classical and recent systematic approaches to identification, nomenclature, and classification." — R. Geeta, Quarterly Review of Biology
"Tod F. Stuessy has been an international leader in plant systematics for several decades. For this second edition, he adds a new chapter on molecular biology that provides a broad perspective on the contributions of molecular data and the dramatic changes in plant systematics as a result of the 'molecular revolution.'" — Daniel J. Crawford, University of Kansas
"An essential book for plant taxonomy and a masterful synthesis that few in our field would have the ability to produce. Plant Taxonomy embraces the holistic, synthetic viewpoint that students must adopt if our science is to progress. Tod F. Stuessy's prose is a model of structure, precision, and clarity, and he illustrates points with cogent analogies and pertinent anecdotes. I look forward to putting a copy on my bookshelf." — Thomas G. Lammers, University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh
