On Apr 16, 2008, froissart wrote: The most complete book about Salvia ever available. The book is in French language but largely illustrated and easy to understand. The author is himself a Salvia grower sharing is own experience and giving hundreds of usefull information about growing these plants, their classification and identification. About 300 taxa (with a majority of species, over 220) are described in detail. Most of the medicinal ethnobotanic uses of Salvia around the world are explained. A large part of the introduction deals with the finding of the 928 species of Salvia on the 5 continents by the explorers: the history of botany revisited trough Salvias. An easy to use identification key for the 220 cultivated species is also provided. |
