Breeding Anthuriums in Hawaii
Author: Haruyuki KamemotoPublisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 9780824816452
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
This book summarizes more than 40 years of research by the book's principal author, Haruyuki Kamemoto, whose work with breeding systems, plant genetics, and the development of horticulturally improved varieties of Anthurium has played a fundamental role in the plant's success throughout the world. A brief description of the history of Hawaii's Anthurium industry is followed by a discussion of the origin of many of the existing cultivars. Secrets of successful plant breeding are disclosed along the way, making the book especially valuable to growers, and scientific data have been condensed for greater accessibility.
1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants
Author: World Conservation Monitoring CentrePublisher: IUCN
ISBN: 9782831703282
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 934
Book Description
This book represents the most comprehensive compilation of data on threatened vascular plants ever published. It includes the names of some 33,000 plant species determined to be rare or threatened on a global scale. Conservation assessments were provided by the IUCN Species Survival Commission, the National Botanical Institute (South Africa), Environment Australia, and CSIRO, The Nature Conservancy, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, together with hundreds of botanic gardens and botanists throughout the world. The Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh and the New York Botanical Garden have made major in-kind contributions.The result of 20 years work by botanists and conservationists around the world, it is intended as a conservation tool, a provider of baseline information to measure conservation progress and as a primary source of data on plant species. Most importantly, however, it provides the building blocks on which to base a worldwide effort to conserve plant species.
Book # 1 Tree - 3500 Plant Species of the Botanic Gardens of Indonesia

Pages : 550
Book Description
A tree is defined as a woody perennial plant, having a single elongated trunk with several branches spreading at a certain height which give shape to its canopy (crown). The trunk usually has a minimum diameter of 10 cm at chest height. The leaves may be deciduous (falling seasonally) or evergreen. Young trees with a trunk measuring less than 10 cm in diameter are called saplings. Most tree species are flowering plants or conifers. They are distributed throughout the world, with the highest diversity in rainforests of the tropical regions. The majority of tree species belong to the families Dipterocarpaceae (Dipterocarps), Fagaceae (Beech family) and Lauraceae (Laurel family). Trees are used to produce a variety of our needs, including timber, furniture, paper and medicine. They also play an important role in preserving the environment (ecosystems) by preventing land degradation and erosion, producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide and managing microclimates.
