Rehash of existing information,
By
This review is from: Cactus & Succulents (A Care Manual) (Hardcover)
Once you get past the nice pictures, the text unravels. There are several specimens that the authors have misnamed (Joshua Tree being Yucca whippleii vs. Y, brevifolia) and the descriptions of others is very coarse. There is a small section on Myths, of which the paper space is wasted with utter nonsense. The care and culture information is conflicting and for the begginer, surely to discourage building a collection as plants would be sure to perish. The information in general is a rehash of text from the other ill conceived tomes on the market. In closing, the index misses some of the plants that are presented in photos; Dudleya for example. Would not recommend for anyone other than the person that has to have every book on the subject matter.
