A classic

This book has been around a long time. That is because it is excellent. Don't worry that there are no glossy photographs. The superb line drawings are a much better aid to identification. A tremendous value when you consider the price. If you are a forestry student in the South, this is absolutely indispensable.

An absolute delight

This 700 page book neatly fits into your rucksack and that's where it should be (not on the shelf in your study). It is an old book, originally pubished in 1946, which means that there are no photographs. But who would miss them seeing all the beautifully drawn plates which illustrate a lot of the species? There is always at least one illustration per genus. The introductory keys are excellent as are the keys to the genera and species. The text provides information on habit, leaves, flowers, fruit, twigs, bark, habitat, distribution and importance. On average there is one page of description per species. I thoroughly enjoyed using this book and all the information it gives about these exotic plant families (entirely fascinating for me who comes from an area poor in tree species: the central European Alps). I am looking forward to using it again on my next trip to Florida.
