Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a compendium of plant life native to North America, particularly in the United States. It gives an in-depth look at the Rubiaceae family and its many subclassifications. These species have a long history of medicinal and industrial uses, ranging from producing dyes to treating maladies. The book describes the development of botanical taxonomy in describing these plants, from the times of ancient Greek thinkers through the naming systems implemented by Linnaeus and later amended by De Candolle and others. The author's encyclopedic approach to describing the characteristics of hundreds of Rubiaceae plants is thorough and well-organized, touching on all major aspects such as habitat, flowering period, morphology, and distribution. There are also separate chapters dedicated to describing the unique features of various groups, such as the Gardenieae, which includes the widely cultivated Gardenia; the Cinchoneae, whose species include those yielding quinine; and the Guettardeae, comprised of tropical trees and shrubs with showy flowers. This book is a comprehensive resource for those interested in the botany, taxonomy, and medicinal uses of Rubiaceae plants. Its insights into traditional and contemporary plant classification, detailed descriptions, and practical guidance make it an invaluable aid for botanists, horticulturists, and anyone curious about the plant life of North America.
