Botanical Results of the Sessé & Mociño Expedition (1787-1803)
This is an annotated list of about 7500 names of plants (mostly Latin binomials) that have been generated during the last 200 years as a result of the activities of an official Spanish expedition (devoted to natural history) that began its work in Mexico in 1787 and closed out its work in the New World in 1803. The relevant names, whether officially published or existing only as manuscript names, are those that usefully can be documented to some degree, in order that a researcher may hope to identify the plant to which a name applies. Identification of the plants may be possible if their original geographic source is known, if an associated carefully drawn description, detailed illustration or a preserved specimen is available, or from a combination of the above.
World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions
This scheme meets the need for a standard yet adaptable system of geographical units for use in recording plant distributions and arranging specimens. Because a purely political arrangement cannot meet all the needs of botanists, the scheme's arrangement compromises between a politically and a phytogeographically oriented system. It identifies geographic units worldwide in a four-level hierarchy, incorporating continents, regions, provinces and countries. Each geographical unit at each level has its own numeric or alphanumeric code. The scheme is presented in five tables, the recognized geographical units are shown in 17 maps, and a gazetteer relates over 2,100 names to the overall system.
B-P-H/S
A supplement to and partial revision of B-P-H (1968), this book contains over 25,000 title entries arranged alphabetically by title and is designed as a key to entries in both volumes. It features citation abbreviations for all titles, improved cross-referencing and an expanded thesaurus of title words and their abbreviation equivalents. The supplement includes periodicals dealing with biotechnology, molecular biology, environmental studies and conservation.
Contemporary Botanical Artists
Presents a collection of botanical paintings along with descriptions of the artists' techniques and backgrounds.
