In Diversity and Classification of Flowering Plants, Armen Takhtajan has
given us a definitive guide to higher-order classification in flowering plants,
covering all families and ranking them by order, sub-class and class, with
characteristics and keys at each level. Entirely descriptive and demanding a
good knowledge of botany’s technical terminology, this will be a standard
reference book in university and herbarium libraries for many years to come.
