Flora of the Sudan

A systematic, region-focused catalogue of vascular plants that presents gymnosperm and angiosperm treatments with family-by-family and genus-by-genus descriptions. The text supplies artificial keys for dicotyledons and monocotyledons, a conspectus of principal plant groups, and a glossary of botanical terms to aid identification. Species accounts include brief descriptions, notes on vernacular names in many local languages, and mentions of economic or practical uses. Supplementary material comprises indexes to generic and family names and multiple native-name lists, creating a practical reference for field identification and study of the region's plant diversity.
