Horticulturists will relish this beautifully illustrated volume on two woodland genera. The text on Epimedium is a substantial revision of Stearn's original 1938 volume; Julian Shaw contributed the section on Podophyllum . The entry for each plant includes an illustration by color photo or watercolor, and features a description, history of its discovery and study, distribution, and a list of references.
