About this title

Synopsis

A richly illustrated guide to the identification of temperate plants.
 
The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is a center of expertise for cultivating a range of plants from around the world. The Kew Temperate Plant Families Identification Handbook draws on the combined knowledge of those experts to create a guide to the commonly found plants of temperate regions—areas between the subtropics and the polar circles. In this book, Kew’s experts present unrivaled scientific and horticultural knowledge of the plants they encounter. The book describes one hundred plant families in detail, illustrating them with photographs showing the important identification characteristics, along with distribution maps, line drawings, and herbarium sheets. This book will be the primary resource for plant identification for those working in temperate regions around the world.
