[.uk] Tropical Plants (Periplus Nature Guides) (ISBN 9625931686)

Not thorough enough:
This book is a good starter identification guide. However, if you want an in depth book with pathology and physiology comments, you'll be dissapointed

An unusual and interesting categorization:
The four categories of plants described and illustrated with photos in this book include: commonly known tropical plants, economically important tropical plants, especially beautiful plants, and oddities. Also unusual is the addition of antique drawings to supplement the descriptive photographs in some of the entries. Because of these features, this book is an excellent inclusion in a tropical gardening library. Indexed. For additional information and photos of some of these plants, see Ornamental Plants & Flowers of Tropical Mexico.
