The tropics with their lush rainforests are extremely rich in plant life but are still comparatively unknown to botanical science. Botanists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew have a centuries-long tradition of exploring and plant collecting in the tropics. The unsurpassed practical knowledge of the tropical plants they have encountered is brought together in The Kew Tropical Plant Families Identification Handbook, a guide to the commonly encountered and ecologically important plants of the tropics. Written by Kew's experts, this handbook is based on Kew's Tropical Plant Identification course, which uses both classical morphology and simple 'spot' characters, to teach plant identification. A total of 83 families and subfamilies are described in detail and richly illustrated with photographs show the important identification characters The Kew Tropical Plant Families Identification Handbook is an invaluable, easy-to-use primary resource for any tropical botanist, as well as for students, conservation workers, ecologists and all those who wish to identify tropical plants.
