Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Most treatments of floras of tropical countries published during the last 50 years have been long on text and short on illustrations. The expense of preparation and publication of illustrations was commonly cited as the reason. Most illustrations were works of art and not necessarily conducive to identification of the plant illustrated. Botanical descriptions to be effective must be long, tedious, and filled with jargon that sometimes only the author can elucidate. Much confusion in botanical taxonomy has resulted from inaccurate impressions due to confusing terminology. A diagnostic illustration accompanying the description at least allows the user to know what plant the description refers.
