Plant Anatomy and Morphology Textbooks

I'm teaching Plant Anatomy and Morphology in the fall (I'm very excited, although I may not have any students). I want to teach by adaptation: plants have to deal with drought-- what are the adapatations for that? what are the adaptations for dispersal? pollination? low light? high light? winter? . . .
It will include some family characteristics, but it will not be a systematics class, and I'll be teaching Plant Phys (likely to the same students) in the spring, so should not be too physiological. And I will not spend a month on words for hairs, even though I could.
Any suggestions for materials I should use?
Or, for that matter, any suggestions for Vertebrate Zoology?
