Flowering Plants. Eudicots

Part of the book series: The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants ((FAMILIES GENERA,volume 15))

Abstract

The present volume of this book series completes the treatment of the Asterids. Asterids are now contained in Vols. VI (Cornales, Ericales, 2004), VII (Lamiales, 2004), VIII (Asterales, 2007), XIV (Aquifoliales, Boraginales, Bruniales, Dipsacales, Escalloniales, Garryales, Paracryphiales, Solanales, Icacinaceae, Metteniusaceae, Vahliaceae, 2016) and the present volume, which contains the orders Apiales and Gentianales (except Rubiaceae). The only families of Asterids not treated in the series are Acanthaceae (Lamiales), Convolvulaceae (Solanales) and Rubiaceae (Gentianales).
