Coryphantha : Cacti of Mexico and Southern USA Reto F. Dicht, Adrian D. Lüthy,
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540223061
Edition: Hardcover; 2004-11
Summary:
This unique reference work presents the first comprehensive taxonomy
of Coryphantha, with a complete key to the genus. It contains a new
taxonomic classification of all 43 species and 11 subspecies, with
morphological and ecological descriptions. These cacti, which grow in
Mexico and southern USA, are characterized by their typical grooved
tubercles and large flowers. The book is the result of many years of
viewing the literature and fieldwork by the author team and their
ongoing commitment to map out the nomenclature of this genus. During
this process, the authors even discovered some new plants. More than
300 high-quality colour photos showing the various cacti and their
habitats as well as distribution cards and illustrations explaining
the morphological details complement the text. Written in an
easy-to-follow style and with a chapter on cultivation conditions,
the work will not only be an invaluable reference manual for
taxonomists and horticulturalists but also for hobbyists and plant
collectors.
