Endemic Plants of Greece The Peloponnese

Second Hand Hardback | Published by: Gads Forlag 2001 | Book condition: Near fine | Jacket condition: N/A
This is a large hardback with illustrations to the front and back covers, in near fine condition. Because they are usually in small, fragmented populations, endemic plants are often the most vulnerable. This was the first of three planned volumes describing, illustrating and distribution mapping of the Greek endemic flora. Excellent colour plates by Bent Johnsen, illustrating almost all the families. Complemented by a scientifically rigorous text. A botanical introduction describes the history, geography and climate of the region.
