This book presents a taxonomic account of the family of grasses
(Poaceae)-one of the largest of Siberian flora-which comprises 72
genera and 440 species and subspecies.
This volume provides information about 306 species from 12 plant
families of Siberia, such as Salicaceae, Corylaceae, Betulaceae,
Fagaceae, Ulmaceae, Cannabaceae, Urticaceae, Santalaceae,
Aristolochiaceae, Polygonaceae, Chenopodiaceae, and Amaranthaceae.
The family of grasses (Poaceae) represents one of the largest of
the Siberian flora. It comprises 72 genera and 440 species and
subspecies. In this text, 27 new species and subspecies are
described; 17 varieties are elevated to the rank of species and 10
previously regarded as synonyms are restored; 14 species detected
in the herbarium material are described for the Siberian territory
for the first time. The somatic chromosome number is cited for
several species and subspecies.
This volume publishes for the first time specific data for Siberia
on taxonomy, chorology, ecological affinity of the species of 13
families of dicotyledonous plants: Solanaceae, Scrophulariaceae,
Orobanchaceae, Lentibulariaceae, Plantaginaceae, Rubiaceae,
Caprifoliaceae, Adoxaceae, Valerianaceae, Dipsacaceae,
Cucuribitaceae, Campanulaceae and Lobeliaceae. Dichotomous keys
have been drawn for genera and species. The text has been
illustrated with maps of the geographic distribution of most of the
species and with their original sketches. The book is meant for
botanists, ecologists, biologists, geographers, agricultural and
forestry workers, and nature conservationists.
This volume contains data on morphology, ecology, and chorology of
feral species and subspecies of 31 families of flowering plants.
The families have been arranged essentially according to the Engler
system. Conforming to the latest views (Takhtadzhyn, Sistema
magnoliofitov [System of Magnoliophyta] 1987), some families have,
however, been subdivided into some smaller families. Thus, family
Biebersteiniaceae has been separated from family Geraniaceae;
family Zygophyllaceae s.l. is represented in Siberia by 4 smaller
(in volume) families: Zygophyllaceae s. str., Rutaceae,
Nitrariaceae, and Peganaceae. This critical study has provided the
specific characteristics of taxonomy and chorology of 299 species
and subspecies belonging to 101 genera including 6 taxa that are
new for science and their diagnosis in Latin.
This volume publishes for the first time specific data for Siberia
on taxonomy and distribution of feral members of 18 families. The
largest families Lamiaceae (Labiatae). Diagnostic features,
conditions of habitation, and geographic distribution, with maps of
distribution ranges in many cases, have been provided for each
species and subspecies. This information forms an essential
scientific basis for conservation and utilization of the resources
of the plant kingdom. The book is designed for the use of botanists
specializing in various branches including resource specialists and
plant introducers, specialists in environmental conservation,
agronomers, teachers and students.
This book publishes for the first time data for Siberia on
taxonomy, chorology, and ecological adaptations of the species of
one of the largest families of dicotyledons, i.e. Leguminosae.
These form 27 genera and 351 species and subspecies. Four new
species have been described. Maps of plant distribution have been
presented for most of the species and many have been illustrated.
Flora Sibiri [Flora of Siberia] has been published in 14 volumes.
This book is meant for botanists specializing in various branches
including resources specialists, specialists in natural
conservation, plant introducers, teachers and students of
biological faculties, and regional specialists.
Rosaceae, one of the largest of angiosperms is represented in
Siberian flora by 32 genera, comprising 214 species.
Presents data on Siberia's eight families of mono-cotyledons:
Araceae, Lemnaceae, Commelinaceae, Juncaceae, Liliaceae,
Amaryllidaceae, Iridaceae and Orchidaceae. Drawings and maps for
the distribution ranges are presented for some taxa.
This book provides a vital scientific base for the utilization and
conservation of the floral resources of Siberia. It covers the data
on morphology, ecology and chorology of 92 genera and 558 species
of Compositae growing in the Siberian wilderness.
