註釋The first edition of the Anatomy of the Dicotyledons written by the late C. R. Metcalfe and L. Chalk in the 1950s has become a classic and widely cited reference. Responsibility for the second edition has been undertaken by the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew where world-leading resources and specimen collections are at hand.
Volume IV of the second edition in the series provides a comprehensive account of the systematic vegetative anatomy of the 25 plant families included in the order Saxifragales according to one of the internationally recognized systems of classification. Among others, the families include Cunoniaceae, Escalloniaceae, Hydrangeaceae, Pittosporaceae, Saxifragaceae, Crassulaceae and Preseraceae. Family relationships are discussed on the basis of anatomical and other information. The work combines both original research and literature review, including an up-to-date, detailed bibliography and many original optical as well as scanning microscope micrographs. This botanical reference will be of great use to post-graduates and researchers of botany, horticulture, and plant taxonomy.
