In this volume, 24 flowering plant families comprising a total
of 911 genera are treated. They represent the asterid order
Lamiales except for Acanthaceae (including Avicenniaceae), which
will be included in a later volume. Although most of the
constituent families of the order have been recognized as being
closely related long ago, the inclusion of the families
Byblidaceae, Carlemanniaceae and Plocospermataceae is the result
mainly of recent molecular systematic research. Keys for the
identification of all genera are provided, and likely phylogenetic
relationships are discussed extensively. To facilitate the
recognition of relationships, families are cross-referenced where
necessary. The wealth of information contained in this volume makes
it an indispensable source for anybody in the fields of pure and
applied plant sciences.
