Flora of China, TEXT Volume 10. Fabaceae. Flora of China Editorial
Committee. 2010. ISBN: 9781930723917. 656 pp. Hardcover. $140.00
This volume entirely comprises the legume family (Fabaceae or Leguminosae), with
1,673 species in China, of which 690 are endemic, i.e., found nowhere else on
Earth. The legumes of China are divided into 29 tribes, starting with the
Cercideae, which include the disjunct redbuds (Cercis) and pantropical
Bauhinia, and finishing with the Fabeae, which include vetches (Vicia),
vetchlings (Lathyrus), lentil (Lens culinaris), and pea (Pisum
sativum). The largest legume genus in China is Astragalus, with 401
species (it is also the largest genus globally, with ca. 3,000 species),
followed by Oxytropis (133 species), Indigofera (79 species), in
which I. tinctoria and I. suffruticosa are sources of the dye
indigo, and Caragana (66 species).
Flora of China.
Flora of China Editorial Committee.
The Chinese flora, with an estimated 30,000 species, is of immense scientific
and horticultural importance. Noteworthy, too, is the traditional medicine of
the country, which is based on its remarkable plant resources. Descriptions and
identification keys for this diverse flora, until now unavailable in English,
have been published over the past ten years in the Flora of China, in
conjunction with a separate series, the Flora of China Illustrations.
Eighteen of the total of 50 volumes have already been published, thanks to an
unprecedented and long-standing collaboration between Western and Chinese
scientists.

Flora of the Venezuelan Guyana. Julian
Steyermark, Paul Berry, Bruce Holst, Kay Yatskievych.
The Flora of the
Venezuelan Guayana is the first full scientific account of a botanically
rich and geologically ancient part of South America. The
Venezuelan Guayana lies in the center of the
Guayana Shield and is dominated by massive
table mountains known as
tepuis. From these imposing mountains fall the
highest waterfalls in the world, such
as
Angel Falls
on
Auyán-tepui. It is a region of great beauty,
still largely pristine, which includes other diverse habitats such as the swamps
of the Orinoco Delta,
the upland
Gran Sabana, large extensions of lowland
tropical forest, and the peculiar white-sand savannas and shrublands of the
upper
Río Negro. More information about the
geography, history, vegetation, and conservation issues can be found in a
summary of Volume 1. Volume 9 will complete the
series.
Botanical explorations in the Guayana Shield region have resulted in the
recognition of hundreds of new species, dozens of new genera, and several new
families of
plants, many of them only known to occur there.
Volumes 2 through 9 contain the floristic treatments for the Venezuelan Guayana.
These provide full taxonomic descriptions for each family and genus. For each of
the nearly 9,400 species and their subordinate taxa, there is an entry that
provides information on the plant's habit, habitat, elevational range in the
flora area, detailed locality data, and common names and uses. Identifications
are facilitated by dichotomous keys to the genera, species, and infraspecies;
close to 5,000 species are illustrated by black-and-white line drawings,
at least one for each genus. The families are arranged alphabetically in two
main categories: the ferns and fern allies, and the seed plants.
