Pages : 1136
Book Description
This 2001 book provides a selective annotated bibliography of the principal floras and related works of inventory for vascular plants. The second edition was completely updated and expanded to take into account the substantial literature of the late twentieth century, and features a more fully developed review of the history of floristic documentation. The works covered are principally specialist publications such as floras, checklists, distribution atlases, systematic iconographies and enumerations or catalogues, although a relatively few more popularly oriented books are also included. The Guide is organised in ten geographical divisions, with these successively divided into regions and units, each of which is prefaced with a historical review of floristic studies. In addition to the bibliography, the book includes general chapters on botanical bibliography, the history of floras, and general principles and current trends, plus an appendix on bibliographic searching, a lexicon of serial abbreviations, and author and geographical indexes.
Notes of a Botanist on the Amazon and Andes
Author: Richard SprucePublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108069215
Category : Botany
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
Having previously embarked on a collecting expedition to the Pyrenees, backed by Sir William Hooker and George Bentham, the botanist Richard Spruce (1817-93) travelled in 1849 to South America, where he carried out unprecedented exploration among the diverse flora across the northern part of the continent. After his death, Spruce's writings on fifteen fruitful years of discovery were edited as a labour of love by fellow naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), whom Spruce had met in Santarém. This two-volume work, first published in 1908, includes many of the author's exquisite illustrations. Showing the determination to reach plants in almost inaccessible areas, Spruce collected hundreds of species, many with medicinal properties, notably the quinine-yielding cinchona tree, as well as the datura and coca plants. Featuring four maps, Volume 2 includes discussion of the Peruvian and Ecuadorian Andes and the cinchona forests of western Chimborazo.
AAU Reports
Author: Plant Diversity in Forests of Western Uganda and Eastern Zaire

Book Description
This report focuses on the non-woody components of tropical forests, such as herbaceous plants. It is the result of a project carried out in several forests in Western Uganda and Eastern Zaire from 1994 to 1996. The project was carried out by the Danish Centre for Tropical Biodiversity (The Botanical Museum, Copenhagen) in collaboration with several institutions in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire). Tropical forests are objects of increasing interest for their importance to the global environment. Forestry studies have so far solely been focused on trees, despite the fact that forest floor plants have the advantage of easy access. The aim of the project was to assess patterns of botanical diversity within and between forests in Western Uganda. The main emphasis was on the ground herbs, especially the ferns. The most significant output at this stage is the documentation of species. Appendices list the diversity of species for each Ugandan site.
