Well, if it's just a book on tropical plants IN GENERAL that is
needed, may I humbly suggest:
THE TROPICAL LOOK: AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF DRAMATIC LANDSCAPE PLANTS, Robert
Lee Riffle, Timber Press, 1998, ISBN: 0-88192-422-9, $49.95. 500 genera
of tropical looking plants and nearly 5000 species/cultivars/hybrids.
524 pp., 409 color plates. (16 aroid genera, 50 palm genera, etc.)
It is the lead book in the "upcoming titles" section of the new
complete catalog from Timber, (800) 327-5680, and has been very
favorably reviewed on at least one website and has been in advance
sale at amazon.com for more than a month now.
Blatantly and shamelessly ....
