Determining which family a plant belongs to is a crucial
horticultural skill. Organizing plants by family provides a
framework for thinking about plant characteristics and for
arranging thousands of plant names in a coherent and predictive
pattern. This is especially important now, as advances in DNA
analysis have recently altered much of the world of botanical
taxonomy. In Temperate Garden Plant Families, Peter Goldblatt and
John C. Manning teach readers how to identify the most
horticulturally important temperate plant families. Introductory
information includes an overview of family classification, plant
nomenclature, and plant morphology. The comprehensive A-Z of plants
includes profiles that include information on the number of species
and genera, plant form, flowers, fruit, and a short description.
Each profile is illustrated with colour photographs and botanical
illustrations. This comprehensive identification guide is for
botany and horticultural professionals, nurserymen, advanced
gardeners, and students of botany and horticulture.
