Cycads of the World: Ancient Plants in Today's Landscapeby David L. Jones
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:For this second edition David Jones has added information covering over one hundred new species and subspecies and updated his material on the two hundred species from the first edition. Each entry includes a full description, distribution and habitat information, and a detailed cultivation and propagation guide. This second edition of Cycads of the World makes a fine addition to the library of anyone interested in exotic plants, including gardeners, landscape architects, horticulturalists, and botanists. Book News Annotation:Palm and cycad specialist David L. Jones updates the 1993 publication
of this volume, adding 117 recognized taxa (for a total of 302
covered) and including numerous nomenclatural corrections. The first
ten chapters address the history, conservation, structure, economic
importance, biology, cultivation, diseases, propagation, and garden
uses of cycads; the remainder is devoted to an encyclopedic listing
arranged alphabetically by genus. Botanical keys have been deleted,
as the genera are too large and complex; new photographs have been
added; and appendices include a list of authors associated with the
naming of cycads and a comprehensive list of synonyms.
