Ships in a box, insured, w/tracking. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: Specialists rank the work as a major reference in aquatic botany, not a general care manual. The 2020 English edition of Aquarium Plants carries the substantially expanded Fourth Edition of 2019. About 750 plants are covered, more than 500 in detailed portraits, w/ notes on some 250 more species, cultivars and growth forms and 838 color photographs. Genera include Bucephalandra, Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus, Rotala, Pogostemon, Staurogyne and aquatic mosses, w/ a full index. The work began as Aquarienpflanzen, published by Eugen Ulmer in 1995 w/ more than 300 plants, and grew through editions of 1999 and 2010. The Fourth Edition adds 78 natural biotopes w/ water analyses and light measurements, LED and PAR lighting, updated nomenclature, a chapter on invasive plants and the first description of Limnophila wilsonii. The book is a major revision, far larger than the older, shorter Krieger English editions of 2001 and 2003 seen most often for sale. Kasselmann, a German botanist, studied aquatic plants in their natural habitats on more than 60 tropical expeditions, wrote more than 400 articles, and edited Aqua Planta for 19 years. Her work joined professional botany to aquarium horticulture. Sadly, she died on 21 August 2026. The 2020 English Fourth Edition, published under the author's own imprint, is now scarce, and copies signed and inscribed by the author are scarcer still. A fine reference for serious aquarists, aquascapers and aquatic botanists.…

Shipping terms
DOMESTIC SHIPPING:
We offer a choice of media mail (when applicable), first class, priority and/or expedited whenever possible. Choices for shipping methods vary and will appear at checkout (as well as additional opportunities to purchase insurance, extra insurance, etc.). All domestic orders include tracking.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
International shipping has become increasingly complex, but we do our best to keep up. If you have any questions regarding shipping to your country, feel free to reach out before you order. We will do our best to give you an exact quote.
All international orders include tracking and insurance. Expedited orders generally ship via USPS, DHL or Priority Mail International depending on the destination. Consolidated shipping is usually via Asendia or a similar, reliable carrier.
**VAT, Fees & Taxes: **
Where your country requires, and when under the value threshold set by your country, VAT is collected at checkout and remitted by the marketplace you ordered through. Any additional fees, duties, or taxes your country or carrier charges upon arrival are the buyer's responsibility (collected by your postal service or carrier when the package is delivered). The one exception is the European Union (see below).
The European Union:
As of 2026, the EU has added a new customs duty on every parcel entering the Union. Because of this, we are now required to prepay all duty and customs (DDP) before shipping, which is why you may notice that our EU rates run significantly higher than other countries. Additionally, on orders over 150 Euros, the full VAT tax due, over and above €150, is most often not collected by marketplaces at checkout. We may contact you through the marketplace you ordered to collect these additional VAT fees before shipping.
Typical speeds:
Although customs and overseas carrier delays sometimes happen and are outside of our control, the following should be a good guide (Business days only). If you need it faster, feel free to reach out. Sometimes we can achieve the “almost” impossible :)
