Hello All:
I will be going on my first sabbatical , and I would like to do something with plants. Please advise me. I want to further some knowledge on plants that I can bring back to my students. I will be taking a whole semester.
Thank you for your input.

I think
they're up to the third edition. Our website is at:
http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/biolherb/botn328.htm From this portal
page you can look at the lab and lecture syllabi, course notes, and lab
overviews.
I'm sorry you're planning a no-lab course. Watching the students eat
weird fruits, try new legumes, encounter wild plants, make paper, and
cook and serve a plant based dish is what makes this course a joy to
teach. The students also seem to really like the lab.
