Each plate presents the same material from fresh plants, in the same views, to make comparing the genera easy, a feature unique to this book. Each genus receives a complete description, with a list of the more popular species and a map showing habitat. In cases where the genus is very large or shows great diversification, additional illustrations show further characteristics.
