Review
"This 'visual plant dictionary' is ideal for those of us with a limited knowledge of tropical plants coupled with an insatiable desire to increase that knowledge upon sighting a 'new' plant."

an indispensable resource book for my LA practice
In a Landscape Architect's office, we seem to need four or five resource books to adequately prepare a plant palette. This book comes as close to being perfect for use in South Florida and other similar temperate zones

Quality disappoints
This book relies heavily on the pix for its value. In general terms this is fine - but the quality of some of these pix and the reproduction disappoints and leaves much to be desired.
Handy - but not my most favourite tropical plant book !

very nice book
Good book, many different plants, but pictures could be larger. Good book for the price.
