Rubiáceas de Cuba.2017. illus. 494 p. Hardcover. - In Spanish.

The book is a taxonomic monograph of the Rubiaceae family, containing a detailed description of the species and genera existing in Cuba, and keys to help their identification. The Rubiaceae family is economically and medicinally important (coffee, cinchona, pecacuanha), aromatic and ornamental (Gardenia, lxora, Rondeletia etc.) and is the fourth largest in the flora of the world (with about 13 800 species), the richest in species in the Antilles and the second richest in the flora of Cuba. Its last version appeared in 1962 in the fifth volume of the Flora de Cuba by Alain with the participation of Roig and Acuna, covering the brief description and keys of 74 genera of the flora of Cuba.

Brief description and keys to 74 genera and 383 species. Since then many taxa were discovered and collected by the exploratory expeditions, using more modern and sophisticated identification methods (electron microscopy, molecular studies), which resulted in a series of detailed monographic studies carried out in 62 publications mostly as products of the authors of this book, which as a current synthesis deals with 83 genera, 470 species, 28 subspecies and 21 varieties with entirely new keys and
descriptions, ecological characteristics and detailed distribution data. In other words, the knowledge of the family in the flora of Cuba has been enriched with 9 genera, 87 species and 49 subspecific taxa, most of which are endemic and new to science.
