Book Reviews
The Genus Aeonium by Marco Cristini ISBN 978-88-901345-6-2 Published late 2022 Price including delivery to UK is 50 euros
This is the work of a botanist who is able to scientifically define members of the genus in simple to understand but botanically accurate. I have listened to Marco on Zoom meetings, he is enthusiastic and travels widely to accurately record his observations. It is the first new work on the subject for some time and is lavishly illustrated with quality images. i ordered mine via the Italian Succulent Society, as there does not appear to be a UK supplier as yet. Here is the link to The Genus Aeonium
Plant Databases
I often find myself looking for plant databases and recently came across a very good site listing many different databases covering different aspects of horticulture, gardening and botany
Here is that vital link
