Book excerpt: Seed Purity and Taxonomy replaces The Handbook of Seed Testing, as the most complete and up-to-date resource of information available on seed identification and seed taxonomy. Seed Purity and Taxonomy contains a comprehensive listing of seeds along with approximately 3,000 black-and-white sketches, photographs, and computer-scanned images of species most likely to be encountered in seed testing laboratories in North America. Internal morphological features of different family groups are also included. These images are complemented with detailed descriptions and numerous dichotomous keys that will help in making definitive identifications.
