'A splendid work for the student of botany, and fascinating to anyone who is interested in the ways plants grow, increase and are interbred. This is an excellent and scholarly book.'

A highly readable, fascinating text, clearly illustrated by 134 of the authors' drawings, nineteen colour photographs and 180 in black and white.' Sunday Times 'This is a great book.'
