Illustrated Field Guide to the Flora of Georgia (South Caucasus). 2018. 3500 col. photogr. 1010 distr. maps. 830 p. gr8vo. Paper bd. - In English.
Georgia comprises an extraordinary range of ecosystems, from humid Colchic forest to continental steppe, from Mediterranean vegetation along the Black Sea coast to alpine meadows next to glaciated peaks. So, this small country is an important component of the biodiversity hotspot that is the Caucasus ecoregion.
This field guide depicts more than 1.200 plant species, which covers nearly a third of the Georgian flora. Almost all of the 3.500 photos have been taken in the wild. The species are grouped by family, and for each species relevant information such as distribution range, distribution in Georgia (shown in 1.010 maps), endemism, habitat, flowering period and common synonyms are given.
The guide is designed as a practical companion for excursions, both for nature enthusiasts and botanist.
