Surface Forms

dendrography singular

dendrographies plural

Morphology

dendrography = dendro + graphy

The same formal pieces are present, but the specialized sense of measuring and recording tree growth is not directly predictable from the surface morphology.

Etymology

The word dendrography comes from the Greek parts dendro- 'tree' and -graphy 'writing' or 'recording', similar to the word graph. So dendrography can mean 'writing down' or measuring tree growth and making charts to track yearly changes.
