Legumes of the World

 Author(s) G. Lewis, B. Schrire, B. Mackinder & M. Lock (eds). 
 Publisher Kew Publishing, 2005
 Description  This is the first comprehensive guide to world legumes, describing and illustrating all 727 genera.
Legumes contribute enormously to the world's economy - through food and drink, pharmaceuticals and medicine, biotechnology, building and construction, textiles, furniture, horticulture, paper and pulp, fertilizers, chemicals, pest control and ecotourism. This book spotlights as yet untapped economic potential and for the first time places genera in a modern systematic framework.
Containing over 1,000 illustrations - colour photographs and line drawings - this is a lavish yet much needed reference for botanists and other professionals involved with legumes.

592pp. 298 x 198mm. Colour photographs & line drawings. Hardback, with jacket.
