A Dictionary of Plant Sciences (Oxford Quick… af Michael Allaby
This new fourth edition has been completely revised and updated, covering all aspects in the field of plant sciences including biochemistry, plant physiology, cytology, ecology, genetics, evolution, biogeography, earth history, and earth sciences. Over 500 new entries, including Rosales, physical dormancy, menthol, and codeine, enhance the dictionary's coverage of botanical terms, key drugs and medicines derived from plants, and plant orders, families, and genera. It also explains many ecological terms, and expands beyond plants to describe fungi and bacteria and how they affect plants. Numerous appendices include Plant Classification and SI Units, with new timelines showing important moments in plant evolution.

Blümchensex : Die schockierende Wahrheit über das… af Michael Allaby
This book is full of both information and fun. Plants use a wide variety of methods to reproduce, and interact with various animals in the process. Although the 'sex' metaphors are sometimes forced, they still help to keep things interesting.

A lot of the humour in this is language based. I read this in German, and Annika Genning has done an amazing job of making it all still make sense.
