The BdS Handbook IIIb provides detailed information on the most important ferns and grasses, marsh and aquatic plants, tuber and bulb plants, as well as herbs and medicinal plants. It includes information on their origin and growth, as well as morphological characteristics, habitat conditions, life areas, and social levels of the plants, along with their possible uses. A photo of each plant aids in recognition and memorization. The section on Other Species and Varieties can be seen as a compass through the almost overwhelming variety of the assortment. In the introductory part of the book, the authors discuss the life areas of the plants, illustrated with clear visuals.
