Originaltitel:
Coryphantha 〈engl.〉
Inhalt:
This unique reference work presents the first comprehensive taxonomy of Coryphantha, with a complete key to the genus. It contains a new taxonomic classification of all 43 species and 11 subspecies, with morphological and ecological descriptions of these cacti, which grow in Mexico and the South of the USA. The work comes after many years of the authors commitment to cacti. During their ongoing work to map out the nomenclatural of this genus, the authors even discovered some new plants. More than 300 high-quality colour photos showing the various cacti and their habitats as well as distribution cards and illustrations explaining the morphological details complement the text. Written in an easy-to-follow style and with a chapter on cultivation conditions, the work will not only be an invaluable reference manual for taxonomists and horticulturalists but also for hobbyists and plant collectors
