"With elegant prose, building on detailed research in the
literature and in the field, this beautiful book engagingly dispels
the confusion surrounding the taxonomy of this remarkable group of
plants. It not only brings current knowledge together in a
refreshingly original way but also--just as importantly--points up
what we still do not understand about the biology of these
enigmatic plants."--David Mabberley, Royal Botanic Gardens & Domain
Trust, Sydney
"I searched for ages for the single right adjective to describe
this book--an almost impossible task, it is so lovely. Sumptuous
about does it . . . this book is a tour de force--chock full of
information, beautifully illustrated, meticulously referenced."--
"Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society"
