Abstract

Plants of the World is the first book to explore systematically every vascular plant family — more than four hundred and fifty of them — organised in a modern phylogenetic order. Detailed entries for each family include descriptions, distribution, evolutionary relationships, and fascinating information on economic uses of plants and etymology of their names. All entries are also copiously illustrated in full colour with more than 2,500 stunning photographs. A collaboration between three celebrated botanists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Plants of the World is authoritative, comprehensive, and beautiful. Covering everything from ferns to angiosperms, this is an essential resource for practising botanists, horticulturists, and plant lovers alike
