With c. 4460 taxa (species and subspecies) of vascular plants, Morocco is clearly
the most species-rich country in North Africa. This book opens the door to a more
profound knowledge of its flora, not only for the specialist, but for anyone with an
interest in nature and travelling. Contents of the book includes:
• Introductory chapters to vegetation, flora, and endemism in Morocco.
• A complete inventory of all vascular plant species, autochthonous or
naturalized. Where it might be of general interest, also subspecies have been
included.
• 7150 illustrations, most of them colour photos of living plants, including many
detail photos in the case of „difficult“ groups (e.g. “grasses” in a broader sense).
• Photos of dried vouchers or line drawings in cases where colour photos were
not available. Thus, only a marginal rest of very rare or hardly ever collected
species has escaped illustration. But these rarities still are described in the text.
• A small distribution map for each taxon, which also includes concise
information regarding altitudinal distribution, flowering time, live cycle,
occurrence in neighbouring countries etc.
• Short mention of important diacritical characteristics in cases where
determinations by photos might deliver ambiguous results.
