Beside an historical overview, the reader will find a list of synonyms (of the '50s!) to the names used by (de) Candolle.

As indicated in the title above, this is the introduction to the high quality fac simile edition of Lemaire's work. A masterpiece of historical knowledge by Gordon, a nice introduction to the full size reproduction of the most complete set of Lemaire's plates (1 plate more than in our e-library!).

Many thanks to the Gordon Rowley Foundation that granted permission to distribute this book.

This book, of about 280 pages, was published in 1980. The first part explains how and why plants are named, and how and why they are described. The second part is devoted to the 28 families (suffix -aceae) of succulent plants. The end of the book presents a glossary, a general bibliography and an index. Although the “rules of the nomenclature game” have changed slightly since 1980, the book is still very useful and the clarity with Gordon Rowley's typical English humor makes it a must.

Many thanks to David Schwartz (Heir of the editor), and to the Gordon Rowley Foundation who granted permission to distribute this book.

This is a fantastic book of about 300 pages devoted to this strange and fascinating group of plants. It is deliberately a book for the enthusiasts, just spiced up by the necessary amount of botany to understand the specificities of these succulent plants. It is illustrated by numerous and sumptuous color photos (some full-page) of plants in collections and in the wild.
