Regular price
$22.00
Pereskia (Cactaceae) is a genus of 16 species of neotropical trees and shrubs that is often cultivated. It differs from typical succulent Cactaceae in its woody habit and the presence of normal leaves and is therefore not always easily recognized as a member of the family at first sight. This treatment covers Pereskia taxonomic history, morphology, anatomy, pollen morphology, phytochemistry, chromosome numbers, evolution, distribution, ecology, conservation, uses, hybridization, and infrageneric and intergeneric relationships. The treatment includes keys, descriptions, distribution maps, black and white illustrations, and photographic images.
