Beskrivning

This volume brings together the work of a group of experts to provide a current understanding of research into the origin, early evolution and basal phylogeny of the flowering plants. Of particular importance are the survey of the botanical aspects of angiosperm origin and early evolution, and coverage of current research directions. The book is organized in three sections: outgroup structure; basal angiosperm structure and evolution; and angiosperm phylogeny and systematics.

This book should be read by anyone interested in angiosperm origins. - Plant Science Bulletin; ...this is still one of the most comprehensive reviews of the subject to date. - Plant Science Bulletin; ...the cover of this volume does little to tell the reader of the varied and significant research results that are included in the pages of this book. Flowering plant origins, phylogenies and evolution is a complex but interesting field of study. The authors have done a fine job of showing this to be true. - Am. Assn. of Stratigraphic Palynologists
