You should be able to get to the fl. pl. glossary as it stands at
http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/research/APweb/glossary1.html
It is designed to go in the vacant space at a flowering plants
(subfamilies and above) website,
http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/research/APweb/
Obviously, there are far too many mistakes at present for me not to
be other than embarrassed. Note that the hierarchy for the terms is
not yet worked out fully, but it will not be a strict hierarchy.
That is, it may have terms at a particular hierachical level which is
the one that people may be thinking of when they are actually using
the site; there is also what may be the "true" hierarchical position.
Note that the glossary is for the most part aimed at explicating text
that deals with flowering plants and higher level relationships, so
many more species level shape, texture and indumentum terms are
either absent or only briefly dealt with (but we have Stearn's
"Botanical Latin" for that); pollen terms are also particularly
incomplete.
P.
Don't worry about typos, but do let me know of anything you consider
more major, whether sins of omission or commission. I will have a
plant chemist check that side of things, I have only just started
with trial-by-use...
