Covering 7 genera and 223 species, this is the first modern full
list of the important genus Magnolia (128 species). Current
systematic research is discussed, plus there is information on life
forms, distribution and conservation status. The extensive
bibliography covers the most relevant taxonomic literature. This is
an essential reference for botanists, nurserymen and enthusiasts.
This 2001 book provides a selective annotated bibliography of the
principal floras and related works of inventory for vascular
plants. The second edition was completely updated and expanded to
take into account the substantial literature of the late twentieth
century, and features a more fully developed review of the history
of floristic documentation. The works covered are principally
specialist publications such as floras, checklists, distribution
atlases, systematic iconographies and enumerations or catalogues,
although a relatively few more popularly oriented books are also
included. The Guide is organised in ten geographical divisions,
with these successively divided into regions and units, each of
which is prefaced with a historical review of floristic studies. In
addition to the bibliography, the book includes general chapters on
botanical bibliography, the history of floras, and general
principles and current trends, plus an appendix on bibliographic
searching, a lexicon of serial abbreviations, and author and
geographical indexes.
