Ethnoflora of the Socotra Archipelago. 2004. 500 col. photographs. 2500 line - figs. 776 p. Hardcover.

A user-friendly manual to the plants of this litttle - known but botanically important group of islands, situated off the Horn of Africa. Designed as a practical guide for conservationists and planners,as well as students, botanists and others interested in the plant life of the region, this volume differs from a standard Flora in two significant ways. Firstly, it provides comprehensive information on the traditional uses of all plants found on the islands. Secondly, it contains a fully illustrated key to all plant families and species -all species on the islands are illustrated with at least one line -drawing, and there are colour photographs of most of the ca. 300 endemic species.

Good second hand copy.
