Aroids: Plants of the Arum Family (Third Edition)

This third edition of the best-selling book by Deni Bown is fully updated and revised. With new taxa and updates to research included, Aroids: Plants of the Arum Family continues to be the go-to book on this plant group. Since the first edition was published in 1988, many new genera and over 1,000 additional species have been described by botanists globally. This expansion of knowledge, made possible through the application of technological advances, has stimulated further interest in the plant family both within the scientific community and in the general public. One of the most famous aroids, the titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum), known for its gigantic size and stench of rotting flesh at blooming stage, has become a botanical superstar!

Fully illustrated throughout with stunning photography, colour illustrations and line drawings, this new edition is the essential handbook for aroid enthusiasts, growers, botanists and researchers.
