Pteridology in Perspective. 1996. This volume contains the reviewed papers and posters presented at the international Holttum Memorial Pteridophyte Symposium held at Kew from 17-21 July 1995. The contents fully represent the range of pteridological research discussed, from the molecular level through anatomy to systematics, physiology, ecology, conservation and horticulture. The proceedings include sections on: R. E. Holttum, Floras, biodiversity and conservation, Generic and family concepts, Species concepts and speciation, Pattern and process and Interaction with the environment and other organisms. Professor Holttum corresponded regularly with many pteridologists throughout the world and, through his observations and suggestions, did much to stimulate the critical study of ferns. Learned bodies qualified to inderstand and appreciate the value of his achievements gave him their highest awards. The Symposium was designed to follow Holttum's broad interest in pteridology and his life-long example of encouragement. It succeeded in both these aims. xx + 700 pp. Hardback.
