Florapedia

A Brief Compendium of Floral Lore

Carol Gracie

Description

Florapedia is an eclectic A–Z compendium of botanical lore.

With more than 100 enticing entries on topics ranging from achlorophyllous plants that use a fungus as an intermediary to obtain nutrients from other plants to zygomorphic flowers that admit only the most select pollinators, this collection is a captivating journey into the realm of botany. Carol Gracie discusses remarkable plants from around the globe, botanical art and artists, early botanical explorers, ethnobotanical uses of plants, botanical classification and terminology, the role of plants in history, and more.
