Rezensionen
'[The book] brings together the latest information on plant classification, catalogues all generic names of seed-plants, ferns and clubmosses, and economically important mosses and algae, provides concise information on plant morphology and geographical distribution, and has a wealth of information on plant uses. With each new edition, entries for vernacular and trade names are growing in number ... In fact the 26,000 entries are so rich in information, that in a way the Plant-book can replace a whole botanical library. ... Mabberley's Plant-book remains a treasure-trove of botanical knowledge ' Pieter Baas, IAWA Journal
