The subject matter in this third (and final) book on the subject is: Yuccas of Mexico. Similar to the previous volumes written and published by the author (Yucca, Parts I and II), this final volume looks at 33 of the known 49 species and subspecies of the genus Yucca – mostly growing in the arid or semi-arid zones in Mexico and the western USA. This plant is found predominately in the border region of Mexico and the neighboring U.S. states. Comparing the amount of species discussed and described in this book to the earlier 2 parts: Part 1 (year 2000) – 38 species and ssp. Part 2 (year 2002) – 21 species and ssp. Part 3 (year 2004) – 33 species and ssp. Included in this volume (Yucca, Part 3), are keys and descriptions to the genus, morphology and anatomy, and list of winter-hardy Mexican species. Also included: distribution maps, close-ups of yucca leaves and fruits, original first descriptions, and German summary. There are a total of 284 photos – the bulk of which are in color (plants and flowers – with the exception of a few b/w figures and photos). This volume completes the series, making it THE definitive work on the genus Yuccaeae. Interested botanists, professional cactologists, even the average collector will find value in this important piece of work. 302 pages, 7” x 9-3/4”, hardbound, with laminated color cover.
