Madeira also contains the most extensive remaining areas of laurisilva the evergreen forest which is the last representative of the ancient Tethyan forests of S. Europe and N. Africa. The remove Salvage Islands have a smaller but equally interesting flora. Flora provides descriptions and keys for taxa at all levels as well as information on habitats distributions and flowering times. Local names are also cited. Fifty-seven plates of original drawings illustrate 212 of the Madeiran and Macaronesian endemic taxa some of them depicted for the first time. Introductory chapters describe the geography of the islands the main vegetation types and the extensive measures being implemented to conserve this unique flora. Flora of the Madeira is the only fully comprehensive publication on the wild flora of the Madeiran and Salvage Islands for use as both a reference work and a field guide.". First Edition. Paperback.
