Flora of Tropical East Africa: Alismataceae: Alismataceae

Description

A descriptive account of the Alismataceae native and naturalised in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, together with information on exotic ornamental and crop plants. At least one species per genus is illustrated, and the bibliography and synonymy are sufficiently detailed to explain the nomenclature and taxonomic circumscriptions within a broad regional context.

Henk J. Beentje is a botanist based in the Herbarium at Kew and the author of "The Kew Plant Glossary."
