Flowering Plants:
"In this beautifully illustrated, handy-size volume, more than one hundred of the major plant families are described and located around the world. The individual descriptions focus on family characteristics and key features, economic uses, and the carefully wrought color illustrations by botanical artists for ease in identification.
