Many of the plants described in this book are currently endangered and this book serves as a compelling call to action to protect Chile's delicate ecosystems. The author draws connections between the climate of Chile and the kinds of plants that thrive there, noting that the country's climate is remarkably consistent due to the influence of the Pacific Ocean and the Andes. This unique climate has led to the development of many unusual species of plants in Chile, many of which have yet to be formally described and named. This book showcases the results of the author's extensive travels in Chile and features a detailed listing of plants that have potential uses in horticulture. Many of the plants described are easy to grow and would make beautiful additions to gardens and parks, both in Chile and around the world.
