This is the first comprehensive book to cover every vascular plant
family in the world, including all families of lycopods, ferns,
gymnosperms and angiosperms. Organised in a modern phylogenetic
order (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group IV for flowering plants and
equivalent systems for other groups), over 450 families are
described in this illustrated encyclopedia, with full information
relating to their characteristics, relationships, etymology,
economic uses and distribution. Written by three world-renowned
authors with wide interests in plant relationships, horticulture
and modern genetic approaches to the study of biodiversity, the
descriptions are accompanied by a lavish selection of photographs,
illustrations and maps. Many of the illustrations are the work of
the first author, Maarten Christenhusz, who is an accomplished
photographer as well as a botanist. This authoritative,
comprehensive and beautiful book will appeal to a wide audience,
from undergraduate students to practising botanists and
horticulturists as well as interested amateurs.
