The Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants represents the first comprehensive taxonomic treatment of succulents in thirty years. It covers over 9000 taxa of all succulents except Cactaceae. This volume on the Asclepiadaceae (milkweed family) presents all kinds of succulent plants from geophytic Raphionacme, leaf succulent Hoya to stem succulent Cynanchum and, of course, the popular stapeliads (carrion flowers). A total of 1119 species are included; of the 70 genera treated, 49 are covered in their entirety. The most species-rich assemblages are Ceropegia (lantern flowers) and Brachystelma. For the latter a complete generic treatment is presented for the first time. The handbook is devoted to a family famous for their outstandingly complex and beautiful flowers and is illustrated with 332 superb colour photos. Keys to genera are provided; for all accepted taxa, descriptions including typification and distributional data, full synonymy and literature references are given.
From the reviews:
"The volume on the Asclepiadaceae is now the fifth volume ... of the six projected volumes of the Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants. Of the five volumes ... these are by far the best series of photographs to have been published ... . For the interested collector ... there is plenty in this book with which to be fascinated. ... this is a very attractive volume and will be of considerable use to many collectors ... ."
(Peter V. Bruyns, Plant Systematics and Evolution, Vol. 239 (3-4), 2003)
"The six volumes of Illustrated handbook of succulent plants ... treat 'over 9000 taxa of all succulents except Cactaceae' ... . This series is a reference manual for taxonomists and horticultural cognoscenti. It compiles up-to-date information not readily available from other sources ... . This series is invaluable to identify succulents... . In summary, this is an excellent series, a significant contribution to the literature, and a superb production."
