Bulbous Plants of Turkey & Iran

Description

This photographic guide is intended to help in the identification of 'bulbous' plants growing wild in Turkey, the adjacent Greek Islands and Iran. It illustrates and briefly describes over 600 species of bulbous, cormous, tuberous and rhizomatous species found in this area. Most are photographed in their wild setting, but others are illustrated as cultivated plants. The area of distribution is indicated and the typical period of flowering noted for each species. All these areas have a very rich and varied bulbous flora, and anyone with an interest in plants visiting the region will find this book invaluable.
