Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Cycad Biology. 2008. (Memoirs of the New York Botanical Garden, 97). 130 figs. 646 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.

The International Conference on Cycad Biology, held every three years since its inception in 1987, has become a prominent meeting, centering on all aspects of the biology of this unusual, important, and interesting group of plants. The conferences stimulate research ranging from horticultural aspects to neurobiology and conservation. Each of the conferences has produced a volume of papers on the varied aspects of cycad biology. This volume is the seventh and most extensive in the series and represents the current state of knowledge about the evolution, pollination biology, ethnobotany, conservation status, and molecular biological aspects, among other topics, of the living cycads. Some of the articles are in Spanish, and all have Spanish and English abstracts.
