Hi!

Just found out I forgot to tell about a new book I read about,
"Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants: Monocotyledons" by Urs Eggli
(red.). Springer, Berlin, 2001. About 370 pages, 32 pages pics. 189,-
DM. (about 95 E/85 USD). First of 6 volumes. No cacti. Said to be the
"new Jacobsen".

Next volumes: dicotyls, Ascleps, Crassulas and 2 x Aizoaceae (thats what
it says; dont know how to iterpret that as 5 volumes; one about
dicotyls?).

This volume: Agave, Aloe, Astroloba, Beaucarnea, Bulbine, Dracaena,
Gasteria, Haemanthus, Haworthia, Nolina, Sansevieria and Yucca. And some
less known genera.

"Succulents": no Halophyts, nor succulent or xerophyt looking Bromelias
or Orchids.

Contains taxonomic cross reference index.

Nothing about culture.

Regards,

Maarten
