About this book
Abridged version of 6 volume European Garden Flora, this handy single volume is a digest that considers familes and genera, but not species. It provides a means for the accurate identification of over 190 families and 2220 genera of flowering plants cultivated out-of-doors in gardens in north-west Europe and in other geographical regions with a similar climate, including parts of North America. A key to all the families is provided and, for each of the families, a key to the genera within it. Scientific descriptions of families and genera follow, including information on the number of constituent genera or species, and details of geographical distribution.
