Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the over 500 species of Euphorbiaceae found in the South Asian island nation of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The author, a renowned botanist of the 19th century, includes extensive descriptions, organized by genus, and provides a comprehensive catalogue of the family's representation on the island. He begins with a thorough introduction to the characteristics unique to the family, and includes subcategories that allow readers to identify the various genera and species present in Ceylon. With meticulous detail, individual entries contain descriptions of male and female flowers along with fruit types, and are further divided into sections based on leaf shape, stem characteristics, and reproductive structures, concluding with a treatment of anomalous characteristics. An appendix details species introduced to the island by humans, and there are several plates illustrating the diversity of Euphorbiaceae found on the island.
