2015010223Kota Kinabalu 2015. Very well illustrated pp x 278 a very good new copy. Malesia is the botanical region comprising Brunei Darussalam Indonesia Malaysia Papua New Guinea the Philippines Singapore and Timor Leste. The seed plants of this biologically super-rich region probably include over 41000 species which botanical work seeks to discover and document. The process of getting to understand plant life and planning appropriate strategies for both utilisation and conservation depends in a very fundamental way on first knowing its components and being able to identify plant families genera and species. While the technical expertise for plant taxonomy may be highly specialised the use of spot-characters - features of the plants that may be characteristic for a species alliance or group and which may be constant enough to rely on for identification - can often help. Here the authors have compiled lists of seed plants for as many as 119 spot-characters that they have found useful in their work on identification as an additional tool in our arsenal for tracking down the identities of Malesian seed plants. The characters range from growth form and vegetative characters such as stem and branch characteristics and leaf arrangement as well as a range of features of inflorescences flowers fruits and seeds. This book should be useful for students foresters botanists and anyone who seeks to identify and know the seed plants of Malesia. It emphasises characters that are found on herbarium specimens dried plant material routinely preserved to form the herbariums scientific archive many of which are also easily observable in fresh material but includes a number of commonly noted "field characters" found only in the living plant but which collectors commonly mention in their collecting labels as well. Most of the characters are illustrated by photographs. First Edition. Paperback. New. Paperback

2007019894Portland: Timber Press 2007. Well illustrated small quarto pp 224 very clean internally black cloth with the slightest signs of use in a very slightly worn price-clipped dustwrapper. "Dogwood trees and shrubs are unquestionably among the superstars of the ornamental garden. Although cornelian cherry Cornus mas and common dogwood C. sanguinea have been grown in Europe since ancient times it is only since the age of exploration in the 18th and 19th centuries that dogwoods from the New World and Asia have ascended to the high thrones of gardens where their aristocracy remains unchallenged today. Given the huge popularity of dogwoods as garden plants not to mention the hundreds of choice selections and hybrids that have come to prominence in recent decades it is surprising that there has never been a horticultural book on the genus. Paul Cappiello fills this longstanding gap with this definitive treatment for gardeners and enthusiasts. Providing a solid overview of all dogwoods of horticultural merit the author provides more than two hundred stunning photos to help with the daunting tasks of identification and plant selection. He provides helpful details on cultivation combating pests and diseases and the fundamentals of breeding and selection. Based on years of research first-hand observation and interviews with dozens of specialists and nurserypeople "Dogwoods" is an unprecedented guide to the diversity of plants available in nurseries today. Written in engaging and informative prose this book will be treasured by generations of gardeners.". Cloth. Very Good/Very Slightly Worn. Timber Press Hardcover

2003014860Oxford University Press 2003. Illustrated with maps and charts octavo pp xii 266 paperback a very good copy virtually as new. No species occurs everywhere. Indeed the majority are absent from most places and where they do occur they are usually quite rare. Gaston discusses the structure of these distributions - the structure of the geographic ranges of species. Gaston is particularly concerned with the factors that determine the limits to a species' geographic range how the sizes of those ranges vary and patterns in that variation. Also considered are the distribution of individuals amongst those sites where a species does occur and what determines that distribution and some of the practical implications of all these. Both in a pure and applied context ecologists need a broader perspective on their subject matter than has historically prevailed. This book provides one such perspective. A must have book for any researchers and graduate students studying macroecology biogeography and conservation biology. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Oxford University Press Paperback
