Plant Systematics. The Origin, Interpretation, and Ordering of Plant Biodiversity. 2014. (Regnum Vegetabile, 156). illus.(partly col.). XI, 425 p. 4to. Hardcover. (ISBN 978-3-87429-452-2)

This book offers insight into three major aspects of the plant world - processes, phylogeny, and taxonomy. Five chapters provide an overview of the many evolutionary mechaniscms that have been operative in the production of plant biodiversity. Six chapters contain information on the concepts and methods of modern phylogenetic reconstruction. Five chapters deal with issues of classification, including historical perspectives and comparisons among phenetic, cladistic, and evolutionary (phyletic) approaches. Three chapters also present types of data, from the morphological to the molecular, which are routinely used in plant systematics research programs.

This book contains extensive literature citations that open avenues to topics for further study or analysis.
