Bücher der Reihe The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants

In this volume, 24 flowering plant families comprising a total of 911 genera are treated. Although most of the constituent families of the order have been recognized as being closely related long ago, the inclusion of the families Byblidaceae, Carlemanniaceae and Plocospermataceae is the result mainly of recent molecular systematic research.

Flowering Plants. Monocots
