This book is the most comprehensive guide yet to the identification, classification, and biology of hebes. These flowering plants are remarkably diverse and inhabit wild areas from the coast to the mountains. They are also popular garden plants around the world.
The book includes Hebe, New Zealand’s largest plant genus, and the related genus Leonohebe. It provides keys to identify all wild species – 88 of Hebe and five of Leonohebe.
For each species, the book provides detailed information, photographs, and distribution maps. General chapters discuss evolution, reproductive biology, conservation, and other topics. This is an indispensable reference for botanists, gardeners, conservation managers, plant photographers, and students.
