Now available in an eleven volume set, this monumental series presents the richness and diversity of Turkish flora in nine books published between the years of 1966 and 1985, plus two supplements published in 1988 and 2001. A major resource on the floristic study of South West Asia and the eastern Mediterranean region, the books feature the work of Peter Davis (1918-1992), and each volume includes synonymy and references to revisions and published illustrations; descriptions of the taxa; habitat and flowering time; citation of types; citation of specimens according to grid system; a summary of external distribution; phytogeographical elements; observations on variation, affinities, and other matters of interest; and an index of accepted names and synonyms.
