The Illustrated instruction manual of Succulent Plants represents the 1st finished taxonomic remedy of succulents in thirty years. It covers over 9000 taxa of all succulents other than Cactaceae.
The Crassulaceae (stonecrop relations) quantity offers the 1st entire therapy of the relations for lots of a long time. The kin is a truly different staff, and crops variety from tiny insignificant annual herbs to perennial shrubs and timber. some of the species have appealing flora. the full kinfolk comprises 33 genera and 23 hybrid genera with a complete of 1410 species and 305 infraspecific taxa. the biggest genus is Sedum (stonecrop, wallpepper) with 428 species. different huge genera are Aeonium (36 species), Crassula (195 species), Dudleya (47 species), Echeveria (139 species), Kalanchoe (144 species), Rhodiola (58 species), Sempervivum (63 species), and Tylecodon (46 species). A key to all genera is incorporated. The descriptions of all authorized taxa are supplemented with typification and distribution info, complete synonymy, literature references and 341 color photos.
