The book contains a selection of 229 species, native and some naturalised, from 65 families of flowering plants.
These books are intended to convey knowledge about flowering plant species from the centre of the country, in a language appropriate not only for professionals and students but also, and especially, for the general public with an interest in native and naturalised plants. In addition, it is intended to contribute to raising awareness of the need to respect, protect and value nature.
It describes species that are frequent in Central Argentina and especially in the Province of Cordoba and illustrates those whose floral morphology, being very complex, requires additional explanation.
Each species is given its scientific name and common names, a description of its geographical distribution in the country, habitat, vegetative and reproductive morphological characteristics, flowering season, most common uses and notable aspects of its biology.
Each species is illustrated with colour photographs and an illustrated glossary to facilitate the understanding of the descriptions.
