Very scarce. Appears unread. Very crisp, clean and bright inside and out, including DJ, which has been protected inside a removable clear cover. Written for botanists and gardeners. Cultivation notes included, along with beautiful colour illustrations, maps and line drawings. The genus Arum consists of 25 species of tuberous plants. Many bulb and alpine enthusiasts grow a couple of species of Arum, usually the showy A. creticum and A. dioscoridis; and the widespread A. maculatum is well known. There are, however, many species which are practically unknown except to a few enthusiasts, and it is one of the aims of this book to bring these attractive and interesting species to the attention of a wider audience. Building on recent cultivation, pollen, cytology and chemistry research, this reference work should increase understanding of this genus.
