Plantas Aquaticas do Brasil. 2024. illus. 258 p. gr8vo. Paper bd. - In Portuguese, with Latin nomenclature.

As the country with the greatest biodiversity on the planet, Brazil is also a global leader in endemic aquatic plant species. Such a vast natural heritage lacked a single source that consolidated information and analyses covering the entire national territory—a resource that would simplify the work of researchers, educators, consultants, and others interested in the subject. *Plantas Aquáticas no Brasil* presents the most comprehensive database ever compiled regarding Brazil’s freshwater flora, the result of reviews conducted by 30 Brazilian and international scholars covering approximately 23,000 records. Featuring specific chapters for each region, the work also includes a classification system for the country’s wetlands, descriptions of plant life forms, an overview of research lines and their respective institutions, as well as detailed illustrations and plates containing representative examples. This groundbreaking and indispensable volume is essential for botanists, biologists in general, limnologists, zoologists, environmental consultants, and anyone—whether professionally or personally—captivated by the rich variety of life in the natural world.
