Books by B. Verdcourt

Part of a set of nine volumes on the flora of tropical East Africa, this text covers the Piperaceae family.

The Flora of Tropical East Africa is a catalogue of all 12,104 known wild plant species in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. E. Robbrecht has published a new classification of the family - 'Tropical Woody Rubiaceae'. The value of the presence of rhaphides is given less prominence.

This book is a comprehensive review of the genera of Myrtaceae, a flowering plant family of mostly trees and shrubs, found in tropical East Africa. It presents information on their character, occurrence, habitat, phenotypic variations and distribution of each of the species under these genera.

Prepared at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in collaboration with the East African Herbarium, the flora is designed to a high academic standard to produce reference for anyone concerned with the identification and utilization of plants in East Africa.
