Description:

Flowering plants are the dominant group in the plant world. They are our main source of food crops, timber, fibers, vegetable oils, gums, herbs, spices, flavorings, drugs and stimulants. Besides their practical uses, they decorate our gardens, parks and streets as trees, shrubs and flowers. This authoritative, expert text is complemented by specially commissioned color plates which are not only scientifically accurate but also constitute a superb collection of paintings. The wealth of information provided in this book will be both invaluable to the botanist and fascinating for the general reader. It will help to focus attention on the problems confronting this group of plants and will stimulate appreciation of their role in the environment.
