Description
This unique reference book and identification manual describes nearly 660 species of vascular plants found in permanent or seasonal fresh water in the subcontinent of India south of the Himalayas. These plants are critically important in the contexts of both botanical science and the conservation of wetland habitats, All plants are illustrated by line drawings showing the diagnostic features, and the book is written in a style accessible to both the expert and the beginning botanist. As the first comprehensive Flora to cover this immense region, the book replaces and supplements many regional guides, and will serve as an invaluable resource for conservationists.
