Plot

A valuable and attractive reference book for anyone with an interest in this fascinating and ever-popular group of plants. The world-wide selection of species is very comprehensive, covering over 400 species-from the curious "living pebbles" of southern Africa, to the giants of the central American deserts. The species descriptions are accompanied by magnificent photographs, many of outstanding beauty. Succulence as a botanical adaptation is fully explained, and there is detailed information on how to grow cacti and other succulents in the home.-Jacket.
