Identification of Tropical Woody Plants in the Absence of Flowers

Second Edition
by Rolland Keller

This revised and extended second edition of Identification of Tropical Woody Plants presents a unique identification system, permitting recognition of plant families in all seasons by means of morphological and macroanatomical features that are easily observable, permanent, and provide a great deal of taxonomic information.

The identification system has been designed in the form of a dichotomous key, which is illustrated with figures of woody plants showing their architecture and the morphological characteristics of barks, branches, and leaves. The book has been revised according to the latest molecular biological findings in taxonomy. Additional families are included, as well as representative examples on color plates. A new key for the main groups of Euphorbiaceae genera has been included. This field guide will be an essential companion for botanists and ecologists.
