The New Cactus Lexicon
899 pages (Vol I 373 p, Vol II 526 p) 2500 colour illustrations

Planned as a successor to Backeberg's Cactus Lexicon, The New Cactus Lexicon is the most scientifically authoritative conspectus of the Cactaceae published for nearly a century. It is comprehensively illustrated in colour and is confidently expected to become the benchmark reference for all those with amateur or professional interests in the diversity, identification and conservation of cacti:

A concise compendium of information on cactus genera, species and subspecies accepted in the standard literature on cacti since Britton & Rose's famous monograph (1919-23), with references to places of publication, principal synonyms, geographical distribution, diagnostic features and brief commentary.

More than 2500 brilliant colour illustrations in a companion 'Atlas' (not available separately), mostly of plants in habitat or from documented plants in cultivation, covering nearly all currently recognized species and subspecies.

Editorial Committee: David Hunt, Nigel Taylor and Graham Charles, supported by a team of more than 130 contributors of illustrations, text and comments.
