"The World of Crocuses is a much-awaited encyclopaedia on crocuses. Published by the Latvian Academy of Sciences, it is the most comprehensive monograph currently available on this botanical family. Its author, Jānis Rukšāns, Dr Honoris Causa from the Latvian Academy of Sciences, grows thousands of crocuses. An internationally renowned expert on crocuses, he studied them extensively in their natural habitat, obtained many hybrids as a crocus breeder, and authored several books on bulbous plants and crocuses. In this monumental work he exhaustively and in much detail describes the 235 species of crocus currently listed."--Publisher
