Dendrology is the scientific study of the morphological characteristics of woody plants, their relationship, biological
characteristics, ecological requirements, variability, distribution and economic importance. Reproductive organs of woody plants
(cones, flowers, fruits and seeds) are extremely important when it comes to defining particular taxa with certainty. This book
contains detailed descriptions and photographs of reproductive organs of the trees, shrubs and half-shrubs relevant for the
