Reseña del editor:
Tree ferns in the garden command the attention of both the devoted gardener and casual passer-by. Their stately form resembles that of the palm tree and evokes a feeling of the quintessentially exotic. This volume provides information on the living tree ferns, surveying families, genera and species.
