TROPICAL PLANTS OF THE WORLD - Tapa dura

Identify some of the most magnificent tropical plants in lush colour photographs and in-depth descriptions.

Whether you're planning a journey to an exotic place or a visit to your nearby botanical garden, the information on these plants will prove both fascinating and useful.
