I just received a few copies of this from Germany and thought you might be
interested
in my review of this book..
This is, unfortunately for most people in GERMAN... the photographs are B&W
and are about
half of living specimens and the other half pressed herbarium specimens..
There are several large
distribution maps. The species descriptions are in Latin. This is a heavy
duty taxonomic monograph and
is not intended as a how-to book or a lookee-see book. The keys are in
German as well as the discussions.
There is a comprehensive bibliography/literature cited at the end of the
treatment.. paperback.
