Manual of the Flowering Plants of Hawaii

Keys to and descriptions of the 146 families, 649 genera, and 1,817 species of native and naturalized plants, arranged alphabetically within the dicots and monocots. Each species is presented with its accepted scientific name, Hawaiian and English common names, nomenclatural and taxonomic synonyms, chromosome numbers if available, and geographical and ecological ranges, as well as notes on taxonomic problems and ethnobotanical information. More than half of the species and nearly all genera have illustrations (b&w). V.2 carries the index for both volumes. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
