Flora of Lycophytes and Ferns of Guizhou (2-Volume Set) [English / Chinese]

About this book

Language: Bilingual in English and Chinese

On the basis of the book Guizhou Pteridophyta and with reference to relevant materials, the editor compiled this bilingual (English / Chinese) flora, to help foreign readers and researchers to further understand the fern flora of the Chinese province of Guizhou. This book describes 36 families, 114 genera, and 844 species of lycopodia and ferns. It is generally written in accordance with the FOC style, but it is relatively simple, including the preface, table of contents, text, illustrations, and index. The book is divided into two volumes: the first volume ends at the Pteridaceae, and the second volume begins with the Venusiaceae. The description for each species contains the Chinese name, scientific name, literature citation, morphological characteristics, and habitat and distribution. There is a brief explanation or discussion when necessary. The distribution of species in the province is represented by the county (city, district) as the basic unit. Colour photos are given for most species. The editor also selected 42 plates from the book Guizhou Pteridophyta, some of which were modified appropriately.
