Book Description
Bremer (botany and biology, U. of Uppsala, Sweden) has undertaken a task nearly inconceivable before the advent of computer technology: the complete classification and reassessment of the largest family of flowering plants, also called Compositae. He uses the relatively new technique of cladistics, which analyzes the distribution and evolution of individual taxonomic characteristics among taxa, to reconstruct the phylogeny within the genera, subfamilies, tribes, and 23,000 species. Lightly illustrated with drawings. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
