Abstract
"East Asia is an area with the richest plant species in the world, and possesses quite a lot of endemic taxa, some of which are still at the primitive stage of evolution. This book is the proceedings of the International Symposium on Floristic Characteristics and Diversity of East Asian Plants held on July 25-27, 1996, in Kunming, P.R. China. There were more than 200 botanists from 17 countries attending this symposium. It includes 45 papers in all, discussing the floristic characteristics and diversity of east Asia, China in particular; the systematic evolution of some important taxa in this area; and the utilization and conservation of plant resources from perspectives of geobotany, plant systematics, plant cytology and molecular biology."--BOOK JACKET.
