Dendrology: Cones, Flowers, Fruits and Seeds

The book contains the most comprehensive and detailed overview of the morphology of reproductive organs of woody plants relevant for the European dendrology in one resource. The book contains 2020 woody taxa (845 species, 58 subspecies, 38 varieties, 13 forms, 40 hybrids and 1026 cultivars), belonging to 400 genera and 121 families. High quality photographs contribute to the value of the book significantly as they facilitate and confirm the determination of a particular taxon based on its cones, flowers, fruits and seeds. This book includes 447 taxa of trees and shrubs that are autochthonous in Europe. Aside from more or less widely distributed and well-known species, some rare, endemic species are also described. In addition, there are descriptions of numerous ornamental species cultivated in Europe that originate from North America, Asia, South America, Australia and Africa. Invasive foreign woody species, which endanger the biodiversity of the European ecosystems, are also described. Furthermore, the book includes information on species that have been naturalised in Europe for a long period of time. In addition to the species, the book contains numerous ornamental cultivars and hybrids, which are frequently cultivated in European gardens and parks. The book includes cultivars that differ from the species and other cultivars of the same species in their flowers or fruits. After the collection of cones and fruits and separation of seeds, they were photographed with a millimeter ruler. The book was written for scientists, students and experts of different fields, whose work is related to woody plants – in other words, for those interested in dendrology, ornamental woody plants, botany, forestry, urban forestry, agronomy, horticulture, plant propagation and growing, landscape architecture etc.
