Conifers: Morphology and Variation

By Mirko Vidakovic and Cabi

This work is based on the author's belief that conifers should be considered in terms of their evolution and variation, conditioned by genetics, the natural environment and man's activities that lead to the development of new types, races, cultivars and hybrids. The book covers over 2150 species, lower taxa, cultivars and hybrids, presented alphabetically by genera from Abies to Widdringtonia. In addition to morphology, anatomical and physiological traits are analysed. Distribution ranges are described for each species, while range maps are provided for over 100 species. Morphological characteristics are illustrated with over 450 drawings and photographs.
