About this book
Cycads resemble palms, but are taxonomically quite different, and have become the focus of evolutionary and conservation studies. This volume presents the current state of our knowledge of the classification of the approximately 300 species of cycads. The book provides guidelines for the designation of species, species boundaries and species groupings.
Contents
