Description: "This documented work is an attempt to synthesize current research on the evolution of flowers of Angiosperms. The author has reconciled the so-called conventional descriptive botanical approach with the more recent molecular approach, in order to more effectively put them in perspective. The emphasis is on the diversity of fertilization strategies, which constitutes one of the characteristics of Angiosperms." "This book is aimed at graduate students of plant biology and pharmacy, candidates for higher studies in the earth and life sciences, as well as all the teachers, researchers, and amateurs who have a passion for flowers."--BOOK JACKET.
