The Flora Europaea, originally published between 1964 and 1980, explores the synthesis of all the national and regional Floras of Europe. The second volume covers the Dicotyledonous families from Rosaceae to Umbelliferae. The text, in English, uses a limited vocabulary, and there are glossaries of technical terms and Latin equivalents.
The Flora Europaea presents for the first time a synthesis of all the national and regional Floras of Europe. It is based on a critical review of existing literature and on studies on herbaria and in the field. It aims to be simple as well as authoritative, and should enable the reader to name as far as its subspecies any fern, conifer or flowering plant growing wild of wildly cultivated. The second of the four volumes covers the Dicotyledonous families from Rosaceae to Umbelliferae, following the Engler system. Apart from keys and descriptions, information is given on geographical distribution and, where possible, on habitat preference and chromosome number. all names used in current Floras or important monographs are cited in the text or index. The text, in English, uses a limited vocabulary, and there are glossaries of technical terms and Latin equivalents.
This book simultaneously provides a useful checklist of all taxa published in Flora Europaea and documents the sources of all the chromosome numbers cited therein. It will be useful to anyone wishing to have ready access to the names and sequence of taxa used in Flora Europaea (for example in botanical libraries and herbaria) and for those involved with chromosome studies of the European flora.

The PA Flora Database (PFD) has its roots in the work of Edgar Wherry, John Fogg, Jr., and Herbert Wahl, the "Atlas of the Flora of PA", pub. by the Morris Arboretum of the Univ. of PA. Over a period of 40 years, Wherry and his colleagues gathered data from the major PA herbaria and manually placed a quarter of a million dots on over 3,500 maps, which are reproduced in this volume. The checklist of included taxa has undergone extensive review to reflect recent taxonomic and nomenclatural revisions. Recent discoveries have been added and distribution data has been updated. This volume also includes collections made in the 1990s in conjunction with the PA Natural Diversity Inventory. Extensive illustrations. Reprinted 1996.
This volume should be seen as an extension to both the existing publications for pollen identification and traditional floras based on gross morphology. In the NEPF a pollen type provides the basis for a hierarchical construction around which the diversity of palynomorphs can be organised and interpreted. It is not a physical specimen in a herbarium, as is the type of a species name, but rather a published account comprising detailed descriptions and comprehensive illustration. In Volume VIII of "The Northwest European Pollen Flora" the following families are studied: Osmundaceae, Azollaceae, Salviniaceae, Droseraceae, Aizoaceae, Aristolochiaceae, Rhamnaceae, Vitaceae, Betulaceae (incl. Corylaceae), Myricaceae, Onagracea and Lythraceae.
Dendrology: Cones, Flowers, Fruits and Seeds offers a comprehensive overview of the morphology of reproductive organs of woody plants of Europe in one resource. The book contains 2020 woody taxa (845 species, 58 subspecies, 38 varieties, 13 forms, 40 hybrids and 1026 cultivars), belonging to 400 genera and 121 families. It includes 447 taxa of trees and shrubs that are autochthonous in Europe and numerous ornamental species that originate from North America, Asia, South America, Australia and Africa, along with invasive woody species. Accompanied by thousands of original photographs to facilitate the identification of a particular taxon based on its cones, flowers, fruits and seeds, the book is designed to efficiently guide the reader to accurate identification. Other features include taxa organized in alphabetical order of their botanical names, flowering and fruiting time, mode of fruit or seed dispersal, and distribution range, making Dendrology: Cones, Flowers, Fruits and Seeds a must-have reference for students and researchers in dendrology, botany, forestry, forest management and conservation, arboriculture and horticulture. Includes 2,020 taxa of trees and shrubs important for the European dendrology Provides detailed descriptions of reproductive organs and data on the reproductive biology of the described taxa Contains 6,644 original, high-quality photographs of habits, cones, flowers, fruits and seeds
