Vanishing Flora: Endangered Plants Around the World

by Dugald Stermer

This volume represents a contemporary artist's tribute to the endangered plants and flowers of the world. It is both an ecological statement, and a call to arms. It focuses on plant life, of which an estimated 30-60,000 varieties are in imminent danger of extinction. The book's format - each illustration is given its own page - permits the reader to see the detail of each plant's structure. Captions describe the plants' history, uses, and status...

Wow

I came across this book in an art class. I don't know about the vanishing flora, but from an artist's point of view, this book is absolutely amazing. The botanical illustrations are supurb, and he has a particularly beautiful way of labeling his pieces. A feast for the eyes.
