Flora of North America: Volume 5: Magnoliophyta: Caryophyllidae, part 2
Author: Flora of North America Editorial Committee,
Publisher: OUP USA
ISBN: 9780195222111
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 700
Book Description
Flora of North America Volume 5 will be the third volume of nineteen on dicotyledons to be published in the Flora of North America series. It treats more than 740 species in 74 genera and three families in the following orders of the subclass Caryophyllidae: Caryophyllales, in part (Pink order); Polygonales (Buckwheat order); and Plumbaginales (Leatwort order). The families covered in Volume 5 include Caryophyllaceae, Polygonaceae, and Plumbaginaceae. Approximately 60% of the species are endemic to North America and north of Mexico, and 19% are known as naturalized elements of the flora. Of the 74 genera treated, 20 are represented in the flora by introduced species, and 13 of the genera have all their species endemic to the region. One of the five largest genera in North America, Eriogonum (Polygonaceae), is represented in the flora area by 225 of its 248 species, with nearly 200 of them endemic. Each of the genera treated in the volume has one or more representative species illustrated with a line drawing. These, in combination with the key and descriptions, will facilitate identification of the group of plants.

Toxic Plants of North America
Author: George E. Burrows
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0813820340
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 1391
Book Description
Toxic Plants of North America, Second Edition is an up-to-date, comprehensive reference for both wild and cultivated toxic plants on the North American continent. In addition to compiling and presenting information about the toxicology and classification of these plants published in the years since the appearance of the first edition, this edition significantly expands coverage of human and wildlife—both free-roaming and captive—intoxications and the roles of secondary compounds and fungal endophytes in plant intoxications. More than 2,700 new literature citations document identification of previously unknown toxicants, mechanisms of intoxication, additional reports of intoxication problems, and significant changes in the classification of plant families and genera and associated changes in plant nomenclature. Toxic Plants of North America, Second Edition is a comprehensive, essential resource for veterinarians, toxicologists, agricultural extension agents, animal scientists, and poison control professionals.

ISBN: 9780195318234
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 746
Book Description
Flora of North America Volume 27 will be the first volume of three on the bryphytes (mosses, hornworts, and liverworts). Thirty-five authors treat the first half of the mosses, including 32 of the acrocarpous families, with introductory chapters on bryophyte morphology, the history of North America floristic bryology, and economic uses. The 84 species of sphagnum, of considerable economic importance, are fully treated. The number of taxa total 37 genera and 621 species. The taxa are fully described and keyed, illustrated with an estimated 136 panels of detailed line drawings of two or more species each, and geographic distributions are provided at the province and state level. This is the first installment of a full compilation of the mosses for North America since A. J. Grout's Moss Flora of North America of 60 years ago, and will be an invaluable reference.
