The Kew Tropical Plant Families Identification Handbook - Grand Format

The tropics, with their lush rainforests, are extremely rich in plant diversity but are still comparatively unknown to botanical science. Botanists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew have a centuries-long tradition of exploring and plant collecting in the tropics.The unsurpassed practical knowledge of the plants they have encountered is brought together in this second edition of The Kew Tropical Plant Families Identification Handbook, a guide to the commonly encountered and ecologically important plants of the tropics.

Written by Kew's experts, this handbook is based on Kew's Tropical Plant Identification course, which uses both classical morphology and simple "spot" characters to teach plant identification.
