    Species concept in its relation to the British flora (Alternate title)

    B.S.B.I. conference reports ; no.4 (Series)

  • Description

    "The "Species Concept" as it concerns individual workers is usually viewed from a more or less narrow angle, and the purpose of the Conference was to bring together problems and evidence from as wide a field of current research as possible. The papers read proved of outstanding interest and importance. They include relevant studies of fossil botany, fungi, algae, bryophytes, ferns and flowering plants and of cytology, biometrics, experimental taxonomy and ecology.

    They cover recent and new work, some of which has not been previously published, and collectively they provide a broad approach to the subject not available elsewhere."--Editorial note, p.7.
