Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. "The Flora Europaea presents for the first time a synthesis of all the national and regional Floras of Europe. It is based on a critical review of existing literature and on studies on herbaria and in the field. It aims to be simple as well as authoritative, and should enable the reader to name as far as its subspecies any fern, conifer or flowering plant growing wild of wildly cultivated. The second of the four volumes covers the Dicotyledonous families from Rosaceae to Umbelliferae, following the Engler system. Apart from keys and descriptions, information is given on geographical distribution and, where possible, on habitat preference and chromosome number. all names used in current Floras or important monographs are cited in the text or index. The text, in English, uses a limited vocabulary, and there are glossaries of technical terms and Latin equivalents" (Publisher).

Ferns and fern-allies are especially well represented in India and are conspicuous almost everywhere by their beautiful and intricately varied foliage. Yet this fascinating group of plants is often rather widely misunderstood due to their great complexity in the area and to a considerable degree of variation, with many erroneous accounts having been published on them in the past. In addition, the last published book covering the whole of India accurately was a Nineteenth Century work, and since then nearly all names of genera and even the majority of species have changed, while some more recent Census-lists have been beset by inaccuracies and errors to the point of being unreliable. Ongoing modern research both in India and abroad has revealed the existence of many more species than were known before, while a huge number of names in use in various works have proved to be synonyms, mere redescriptions of species already known. The present work in two parts has incorporated and evaluated modern research and has set out the whole spectrum of Indian ferns as known today, detailing their types, synonyms and carefully revised distribution as researched both in the field in and around the region, and in the world's herbaria, involving re-identification and verification of specimens over many decades of research by the specialist authors. Notes concerning misidentifications or taxonomic and nomenclatural problems are provided in situ under each species or genus. Part 1 covers the families from Lycophytes through to Thelypteridaceae, in taxonomic order, and the forthcoming part 2 covers the large advanced and critical families from Woodsiaceae to the end of the taxonomic series. It is planned subsequently to present a descriptive volume followed by a photographic volume to complete the set. In addition to aiming to produce a detailed and comprehensively accurate account of these plants, many new revisions at species and some at generic level have also been made in the book itself, while setting out to maintain the important balance between molecular and morphological concepts of taxa. It is hoped that stability of names and concepts along with indication of modern directions of research in various groups may result from the present work, which is intended to provide a comprehensive basis for present and future fern-study, cataloguing and identification relevant to the fern-flora of the whole of Asia (jacket).
