Studies of forest vegetation may differ in their underlying objectives, but they all require taxonomic knowledge. The process of taxonomy begins with an inventory of the flora, which has been based to a large extent on reproduction-related organs, such as flowers and fruits. But, those are often difficult to observe and may not exist in the field at a given time. Unlike most such guides or keys, this book can be used anywhere in the tropics and provides, in a straightforward two or three-step process, identification to the level of families, which are now circumscribed according to molecular as well as morphological characters in the universally accepted scheme of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. Plant architecture is not a prerequisitetheme for plant identification; however, we think that an introduction to this subject is not out of place in this book (architectural traits are taxonomically sound): it is now time for botanists working in the tropics to have an idea on how the whole organism keeps growing. Within the family accounts, there is information concerning important economic plants with notes on the larger genera and, particularly helpfully, discussion of families readily confused and how to separate them. Descriptions of the families rely on short diagnosis bolstered by many photographic pictures, lines drawings and extracts from the author?s field books, all showing features of plants as they are found in the forest. 606 $aBotany 606 $aPlant anatomy 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aPlant Science 606 $aPlant Anatomy and Morphology 606 $aBiodiversity 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aPlant anatomy. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 14$aPlant Science. 615 24$aPlant Anatomy and Morphology. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 676 $a581.52623 676 $a580.913 700 $aKeller$b Roland$01315641 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910659482903321 996 $aA Field Guide to Tropical Plant Families$93032436 997 $aUNINA
