This is an enumeration of the seed plants (excluding monocots) found in tropical Singapore. It includes nearly 1,300 species of naked-seeded plants and dicots which are native or naturalised, and over 520 species which are commonly cultivated in Singapore and adjacent islands. They are systematically arranged in 142 families in this book. An alphabetical list of the families can be found in the beginning of the book. There are brief descriptions on the families and short diagnoses and notes to the species of the genera. Keys to the families and genera of most families are also provided. Nearly all the families are illustrated with at least one line drawing. Some of the larger families, such as composites and legumes, are accompanied with 10 to 20 drawings. They generally depict the common or renowned examples.

_____Published in association with the National Parks Board of Singapore, this important book combines vivid photographs of marine and terrestrial sites and species with a highly informative and readable text. The book starts with a look at Singapore's wild past: its biogeography from before human occupation up to 19th century changes and finishes with a look at the possible future of wildlife in the country. In between, there are full details on the current flora and fauna to be found in and on Singapore's reefs and rocks, mangroves and mud, lowland and swamp forests, and parks and gardens. A unique feature in each chapter is the 'Guided Tour' which takes readers to specific habitats to explore the trees, birds, plants and animals to be found there. Written by three expert authors, Wild Singapore provides an authoritative and entertaining survey of the wide spectrum of wildlife on the land and in the seas of Singapore.
