The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants, Volume 15 Flowering Plants. Eudicots - Apiales, Gentianales (except Rubiaceae)

About this book

This volume covers the orders Apiales (Asterids I) and Gentianales (except Rubiaceae; Asterids II). It is the last of five volumes to (almost) complete the treatment of the Asterids in this series after publication of Volumes 6 (Cornales, Ericales, 2004), 7 (Lamiales, 2004), 8 (Asterales, 2007) and 14 (Aquifoliales, Boraginales, Bruniales, Dipsacales, Escalloniales, Garryales, Paracryphiales, Solanales, Icacinaceae, Metteniusaceae, Vahliaceae, 2016). The present volume provides descriptions for 11 families with altogether 1021 genera. Identification keys are provided for families within orders and for all genera within families, and likely phylogenetic relationships are discussed. The wealth of information contained in this volume makes it an indispensable source for all working in pure and applied plant sciences.
