About This Book

A sequence of coloured botanical plates is paired with concise Linnaean names and diagnostic characters, followed by descriptions of form, flowering time, native or introduced range, and recommended methods of cultivation and propagation. Individual entries emphasize morphological detail useful for identification and note practical growing habits observed in collections. The volume supplies systematic indexes that organize species by Latin and English names, hardiness, and whether they suit open ground, greenhouse, or stove culture. The result serves as a combined visual reference and hands-on guide for recognizing and cultivating a wide range of ornamental plants.
