     A practical guide to the most-noticed trees, shrubs, vines, and flowers of the American tropics - an immense amount of useful and interesting information in an easy-to-carry form. The 748 illustrations show the general appearance of each species, with close-ups of identifying characteristics and other interesting features where helpful. Because tropical ornamental and economic plants have accompanied human populations around the globe, this book is useful in the tropics world-wide.
