Flowering Plants. Monocots

In the present volume taxonomic treatments including descriptions of and keys to the families and genera for the orders Santalales and Balanophorales are offered, the former group here comprising 12 families with 162 genera and about 2100 species, and the latter with the single family Balanophoraceae composed of 16 genera and about 42 species.

This volume covers the orders Apiales (Asterids I) and Gentianales (except Rubiaceae; The present volume provides descriptions for 11 families with altogether 1021 genera. Identification keys are provided for families within orders and for all genera within families, and likely phylogenetic relationships are discussed.

This volume covers theorders Boraginales, Garryales and Solanales (except Convolvulaceae) of theLamiids (Asterids I) as well as three unplaced families of that clade, i.e. The present volume provides descriptions for 35 families and altogether340 genera, including three genera of somewhat uncertain family affiliation.

This volume, the tenth in the series, comprises modern treatments for the families and genera of the eudicot orders Sapindales and Cucurbitales.

In this volume, 24 flowering plant families comprising a total of 911 genera are treated. Although most of the constituent families of the order have been recognized as being closely related long ago, the inclusion of the families Byblidaceae, Carlemanniaceae and Plocospermataceae is the result mainly of recent molecular systematic research.

This volume contains a complete systematic treatment of the flowering plant order Asterales. The wealth of information contained in this volume makes it an indispensable source for all working in the fields of pure and applied plant sciences.

This volume - the first of this series dealing with angiosperms - comprises the treatments of 73 families, representing three major blocks of the dicotyledons: magnoliids, centrosperms, and hamamelids.

This encyclopedia contains a comprehensive treatment of the taxonomy of the families and genera of ferns and seed plants. The present volume, the fifth in this series, deals with three major groups of dicotyledons, the Capparales, Malvales, and Non-betalain Caryophyllales.

This volume presents systematic treatments for the families and genera of the Malpighiales, which more recently have been recognised as a new major group of the eudicots.

After his untimely death, Peter Goldblatt, who had worked with him, continued to handle further incoming monocot manuscripts until, in the early 1990s, his other obligations no longer allowed him to continue.

Compiled and written for advanced students, this encyclopedia contains a comprehensive treatment of the taxonomy of the families and genera of ferns and seed plants. The present volume, the sixth in this series, deals with five groups of dicotyledons, the Celastrales, Oxalidales, Rosales, Cornales, and Ericales, comprising 48 families.

In this volume treatments are offered for 52 families containing 432 genera belonging to 13 eudicot orders, many of which have recently been newly designed; Emphasis is on the early-diverging eudicots and basal core eudicots.

When Rolf Dahlgren and I embarked on preparing this book series, Rolf took prime responsibility for monocotyledons, which had interested him for a long time.

After his untimely death, Peter Goldblatt, who had worked with him, continued to handle further incoming monocot manuscripts until, in the early 1990s, his other obligations no longer allowed him to continue.

Offers access to the diversity of ferns and seed plants, the important groups of green land plants. This encyclopedia synthesizes available information of general and systematic relevance at the level of families. It includes an inventory of genera along with their diagnostic features, keys for identification, and references to the literature.
