The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants Errata

Nothing ever goes quite as planned. The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants is no exception. There were some unfortunate errors introduced into the manuscript before it was published. Here is a list of all known errata for the book. If you find some other errors in the book (or, heaven forbid, this page), please let me know so that I can add fixes. My address is at the bottom.
