Genera and a new evolutionary system of world Chenopodiaceae. 2017. Many col. photogr. 361 p. gr8vo. Paper bd. - In English.

The Chenopodiaceae are a group of plants living in stony desert, sanddune and semi - desert environments, and in sandy, saline and alkalineareas. At present the family has expanded into a large group of morethan 120 genera and ca. 1500 species. The authors of this book, inaccordance with principles of evolutionism formulated over a longperiod of observation, have studied every characteristic and propertyfrom the point of view of morphology, such as trichome type, stem andleaf shape and anatomical structures, presence or absence of bracts andbraclets, floral sex, perianth, anther appendage, flora disc, rudimental stamens, fruit type, form of seed and perisperm, pattern ofembryo and radical orientation, morphology of pollen grains, etc. Onthis basis, integrating present distribution patterns, the authorshave identified, merged and combined some duplicate genera and species,and in accordance with relationships, have arranged a new systematicorganization for the family on morphological terms, containing 7 sub -families, 17 tribes and ca. 120 genera for the family.
