Some Helpful Books re: Plant Familes

A small site like Plant Families.com, at best, can present only a general view of the entire plant kingdom. If one becomes especially interested in any particular group of plants he will need to refer to books that specialize in plant families. Some highly useful ones are suggested below, but this list must not be thought of as being at all complete. The attempt has been only to include manuals useful in Identifying plants.
