This Atlas presents nearly 4,800 seed illustrations, supplemented with seed descriptions, plant descriptions, and information on the locality and native source. It is unique in both scope, extending to an unprecedented number of plant seeds, and its unusual level of detail.
From the reviews: "The impressive Atlas of Seeds and Fruits of Central and East-European Flora provides a very useful guide to seed morphology and anatomy in the Carpathian region. ... The detailed pictorial glossary is a wonderful addition to this atlas ... . will be very well received by students and those just entering the field of botanical terminology and seed morphology. ... this book as a must-have for University libraries and paleoecology laboratories and a valuable resource for all parties interested in seed identification and research."
