The illustrated guide is the first comprehensive generic account of the Peruvian tree flora, one of the richest in the world, currently estimated at 6350 species and likely to exceed 7000 when all groups have been monographed. The contents include an account of the forests of Peru, an illustrated glossary of technical terms, identification keys, descriptions of 140 families and 980 genera, up to date literature references and information on distribution, ecology and uses of 1500 of the more common species. The text is accompanied by over 900 fine, technically accurate line-drawings and coloured plates by Rosemary Wise, one of our foremost botanical illustrators, and by nearly 200 colour photographs. The book will be an essential guide for students, botanists, foresters,tourists and others wanting to learn more about the astonishing diversity of Peruvian forests. Although designed for Peru, it will also be useful for visitors to other Andean countries, such as Ecuador and Bolivia, which share many of the same species. Its compact size and format make it ideal for use in both field and laboratory
