The Genus Betula: A Taxonomic Revision of Birches
- Collection : Prof Jim Green
- Publisher : Kew Publishing
- Illustrations : 298 col + b/w illus
Description:
This book is the first monograph published on this plant group. Accounts are given of all known birches found in Europe, Asia and North America, both white and brown barked, and a key for their identification. The extensive fossil record and recent molecular work are reviewed and, together with new data not previously published, used to provide information for a discussion of what can be deduced of the evolutionary relationships of the species and species groups. From the authors' experience of growing and propagating almost all species, accounts are given of the cultivation requirements and landscape use of Betula species.
