Southern Thailand has one of the richest tree floras in the world and harbours 75% of all native trees in Thailand. Forest Trees of Southern Thailand covers 2,400 species in three volumes, including over 90% of wild trees known from the region. Two thirds of these species are described in detail and fully illustrated with 1,200 original drawings and over 7,000 photographs which capture the astonishing beauty of these plants, most of which have never been seen in print. The text is authoritative and up-to-date but written in non-technical language to appeal to amateur botanists as well as professionals. This unique book is the most complete guide ever published to the flora of this fascinating region and is an essential reference for anyone interested in the natural history of the peninsula.
