Palms Throughout The World describes 800 species in 123 genera.
David Jones, a research botanist and horticulturalist, has
concentrated his coverage on palms that offer outstanding
prospects for cultivation worldwide. One of the most exciting
features of this book is that for many genera, accounts are
provided of substantial numbers of species - rather than the
usual just one or two. A straightforward alphabetical listing of
palms, with common synonyms and easy reference to origin and
distribution, makes this book readily accessible to all pal
enthusiasts. With 350 beautiful illustrations and colour
photographs, and a truly accessible text, Palms Throughout The
World is the essential reference work on the subject.
