About This Book

An analytical identification key to the genera of African flowering plants, arranged to help users determine generic names by visible floral and vegetative characters while remaining close to natural classification; adopts the genera and families as treated by Engler and Prantl and supplies approximate species counts to 1910, geographical distribution, uses, and major synonyms. The volume includes keys to families and genera, a glossary of botanical terms, statistical tables, a map, 150 botanical plates, a list of principal works consulted, an index, and noted typographical corrections, and is intended to assist both botanists and travellers with practical field determination.
