This revised and extended second edition of "Identification of tropical woody plants" is a concise representation of vegetative characters of woody taxa. It presents a unique identification system, using morphological and macroanatomical features which are easily observable, permanent, and which provide a great deal of taxonomic information. The book has been revised according to the latest molecular biological findings in taxonomy. Additional families are included, as well as representative examples on color plates. A new key for the main groups of euphorbiacean genera has been included.
This field guide will be an essential companion to botanists and ecologists.
