Discover Plants of Taiwan

Blessed with varied topography, great difference in elevation,
favorable geographic and climatic conditions, Taiwan breeds
diverse and abundant flora and fauna. Nearly 4,000 vascular
plant species grow in Taiwan, a quarter of which found nowhere
else.
We are now presenting an elegantly designed and fully
illustrated 6-volumed ˇ§Discover Plants of Taiwan,ˇ¨ each covering
facts on roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds of
selected Taiwanese plants. In addition, we have developed a
multi-media website to facilitate nature education and to
systematically introduce our indigenous plants. I wish you will
enjoy our books and website (http://taiwanplants.ndap.org.tw).
Your comments for improvement are most welcome. |
