Flowering Plant Origin, Evolution and Phylogeny brings together the work of an international group of experts to provide a current understanding of research into the origin, early evolution, and basal phylogeny of the flowering plants. This important volume combines, in a single, convenient resource, the wealth of information now available as a result of new research. Of particular importance are the survey of the botanical aspects of angiosperm origin and early evolution and coverage of current research directions. Flowering Plant Origin, Evolution and Phylogeny offers information of value to anyone interested in the evolution of the dominant flora on Earth. In addition, the book provides important insights for all those interested in the structure, origin and early development of the angiosperms, including systematists, morphologists, and paleobotanists. A special feature of the book is a geological time-scale to aid those who are unfamiliar with stratigraphic terminology.
