The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants (The Virtual Laboratory)
Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz, Aristid Lindenmayer, J.S. Hanan, F.D. Fracchia, D.R. Fowler, M.J.M. de Boer, L. Mercer
A beautiful book with excellent color plates; it gives a precisely mathematical, yet not arcane, presentation of the ways botanical forms can be generated algorithmically. This gives insight into real plants and a fun set of computational tools to play with.
I discovered this book years ago, as a teenager, and just bought a copy to relive its pleasures.
